I’m looking for books, games, movies, etc. that are set in a relatable, high-tech post-capitalist solarpunk world.
I’ve got a few of the most popular novels, but I’m looking especially for ones that I haven’t seen.
There are a lot of stories within anthologies, Solarpunk magazine, and the Grist’s 2200 collections that I haven’t seen before, for instance.
Can folks throw out suggestions that fit this tone across any media? Bonus points if it could be described as action/adventure.
I gotta suggest the Mars trilogy by KSR
Yeeaaahhhh
I mean it fits the bill
Anno 2070 has kindoff a Solarpunk vibe if you play the ecos or a Cyberpunk if you play the tycoons. The setting is not 100% on point, but it is still a great SP game Terra Nil is a Solarpunk game where you have to regreen the earth. Tomorrow Land is really good film about the hope we need to create a better society
Those are some really interesting recommendations.
I think I might watch Tomorrowland tonight. I’ve heard a few people bring it up, and I’m really curious to see what I think of it.
A Half-Built Garden by Ruthanna Emrys might fit the bill?
That’s a good one. I actually just started reading this (like, I’m on chapter 3) and then I heard the author on the Solarpunk Now! podcast, and it sounds like the book goes some amazing places.
Intriguing. Saving this recco for myself!
I’m currently reading the Glass and Gardens solarpunk anthology (thanks for the reminder) and I’ll let you know if I think it’s a good fit for FA! So far I’ve read two of the stories and liked one quite a bit.
Nice. There’s actually a bunch in that series, I think. Glass and Gardens: Summer; Glass and Gardens: Winter; and so on.
Do you know which one it is?
I have summer and winter, this is from summer
