Let’s talk about solarpunk literature – a genre that paints a hopeful vision of the future where humanity has embraced sustainability, renewable energy, and harmony with nature. I’ve been diving into this optimistic sci-fi subgenre lately, and it’s been a refreshing change from the usual dystopian fare.
What’s your favorite solarpunk novel that really captures the essence of a better, greener future? The ones that I’ve read and loved are;
- Pacific Edge by Kim Stanley Robinson
- New York 2140 by Kim Stanley Robinson
- Sunvault anthology
- and The Summer Prince by Alaya Dawn Johnson
But I want more! I’m looking for books that not only showcase innovative eco-friendly technologies but also explore the social and cultural shifts that come with building a more sustainable world. Bonus points for diverse characters and unique settings!
