@clover Walkaway was neat, and Half-Built Garden was lovely, and The Disposessed is a classic. Maybe one of those will tickle your fancy? A longer list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/131328.Solarpunk_Community_Discord_List
I'm really enjoying Walkaway. I went in not knowing much aside from the fact that it was recommended by a solarpunk group I'm in. It's been quite a surprise to read! The Dispossessed is definitely my next book
@metalplates I'm not a huge fan of where the end of the book goes, but the solarpunk future it imagines has a lot going for it ime.
@clover I thought "The Terraformers" was an excellent long form solarpunk novel. The themes of nature and community to overcome oppression were very satisfying.
Have you looked into Kim Stanley Robinson particularly his Mars Trilogy? It deals with a lot of utopian, ecological, libertarian socialist, and transhumanist themes. It predates solarpunk as a genre but it resonates a lot with solarpunk themes. The Mars Trilogy isn't complete without its fourth companion book The Martians which contains alternate universes, prequels, midquels, and spin offs to the main story.
His book New York 2140 would fit the bill as well, I think.
