What is solarpunk? A reading list

Solarpunk is optimistic science fiction based on renewable energies.

It’s utopian not dystopian, an imagined future we’d actually like.

It’s hopepunk not grimdark, featuring bright and hopeful futures.

It’s climate fiction, where we start to get things right.

For me, it features nonbinary, feminist, connected communities.

It takes place on Earth with green spaces and animals.

Small press books, self-published works, and anthologies are really solarpunk.

Here are some of the books on my shelf:

I also recommend checking out Alan Marshall’s project Ecotopia2121 and the beautiful book which features green utopias.
