Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers by Wendy Nikel, Julia K. Patt
5.0
An anthology of Solarpunk stories - optimistic science fiction that imagines a future founded on renewable energies - with a great variety of settings and cultures and plots.
I like both pessimistic and optimistic stories, but a little positivity feels good right now. The stories and worlds presented here are inspirational, even though not everything works out every time. From the prominent farming theme to murder mysteries and aliens, the stories vary widely in both setting and tone, but I enjoyed all of them. Some I loved more than others, but that's the nature of an anthology.
It's a lovely premise and I'm hooked on solarpunk now. The future feels a little less bleak.
