I want to read some solarpunk fiction. Any authors or books you can recommend?

    i’ve been listening to children of time recently, and it features a society that i would describe as fairly solarpunk, altho not in the typical way. it’s a pretty good read :3

      Oh my gods. I love this series so much. I don’t know if I’d call the entire thing solar punk, rather the goal of the series seems to be to play with the idea of what life could look like if the person is vastly different from a human. I would highly recommend the entire series, though.

      I love all of the books and rate them some of my favourites of all time, but my absolute favourite is Children of Memory. It took me a decent amount of time to figure out what was going on, and it was absolutely devastating. Then he turned it around and revealed that my conclusion was wrong, and it was even worse.

      I love Kern as a character. She’s headstrong and steadfast in her beliefs from the get-go, and I find that really compelling in a person. She’s not without kindness though, even though that kindness often comes as a result of self-interest.

      I’ve had that one staring at me from my bookshelf for months now, I need to get to it. Glad to hear a positive recommendation for it
