I’ve been loving my hard scifi recently. But I feel like it’s begun to demonstrate how much easier it is to imagine all the ways things could go wrong. If fiction is how we lay an outline for the future, I wonder if anyone can recommend some more uplifting stories to me? Rather than a cautionary tale I would appreciate a story with a setting where the author dares to risk being wrong about what’s right for us. Naturally this may simply be the setting for a somewhat unrelated story, but I’m curious what sorts of literature comes to mind that falls into this category.

    The solarpunk genre in general might have some good stuff for you - my favorite so far is Murder in the Tool Library, but the Terraformers might be closer to what you’re looking for.
