Recs if you like Octavia's Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements...
But WAIT. There’s Hope! ✨ANTHOLOGIES✨
Straight from the Solarpunk Manifesto, “We are solarpunks because the only other options are denial or despair.”
What if there’s more to our future? What if we were optimistic?
Below are the anthologies that have made it to O.E. Tearmann’s Open List of Positive and Hopeful Futures

It’s okay to judge a book by it’s cover!
Beautiful books for when your monthly reading roundup needs a little facelift 😉
Disabled/ND Apocalyptic Stories
Disability & Neurodivergency stories are rare in apocalypse & zombie books. I've found as many as I could!
As always, suggestions incredibly welcome! I'd love to round this one out!
Not intended as a list of good neurodivergent & dis rep (thou many of them absolutely are - lots are even written by disabled/ND authors! I just haven't yet read them all, so can't recommend every book on this list), but disabled or neurodivergent characters feature heavily in these stories of survival
