Solarpunk Sci-Fi
I did some digging for a bookclub and gathered some solarpunk books, and why not share them here? (I haven't read them all) If you have more suggestions I'll add themđ
Solarpunk is a sci-fi subgenre that envisions futures build on renewable energy, greentech and community. It is mostly positive and meant to offer a positive alternative to dystopian idead. The punk aspect is usually seen as the vision of the positive future, which is considered radical and rebellious itself.

Thanks for putting this together! I've been reading the free online magazine Tractor Beam and it's been making me want to read more solarpunk sci fi!
Uuh that sound good! I got into it with Becky Chambers and Ursula LeGuin đ
Iâve been trying to articulate the more niche genre that is A Psalm for the Wild Built so thank you!
That would probably be Hopepunk too, maybe even a bit of post-apocalyptic (but I'm not sure of that one). I want to try to make lists for more small subgenres, since this was so fun! đ
