** Full disclosure: I received this book in exchange for an honest review**
I really enjoyed this collection, I actually found myself reserving reading this book to my train rides home for work because it gave me something uplifting to look forward to every day.
It was so nice to read positive stories that weren't saccharine or felt forced, just people working together to make things better for everyone. And using Science!
This is one of the few short story collections I've read where I really enjoyed just about every story. There was only one story that I felt was weaker than the others, the last one, Black Ice City. There wasn't really anything wrong with the story, it just didn't feel like it fit in with all the others somehow.
This was my first real exposure to solar punk and I'm very glad I read it, especially in these troubling times. There needs to be more positive vibes out there, more examples of what we can be when we work together.
I will definitely be getting the Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers and hope that they continue with a spring and fall one?
