Series: Beyond and Within

A new, collectable anthology of futurist reads, featuring solarpunk stories to give a hope that empowers individuals and communities to work together for a better future.

In this near future anthology, Solarpunk explores the many ways individuals and resilient groups can fight gentrification, expropriation, abuse and loss of identity, starting within local communities, ultimately to embrace the whole world.

Solarpunk traces a path, rough and tortuous, towards a change now perceived by many as a necessity. Nobody will give us the future seem to say these short stories edited by Future Fictions's Francesco Verso. Solarpunk brings stories without borders, from across the world: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, the UK and USA. Authors are Jerri Jerreat, Ken Liu, Thomas Badlan, Ciro Faienza, Brenda Cooper, Renan Bernardo, Jennifer L. Rossman, Sarena Ulibarri, Gustavo Bondoni, Lucie Lukacovicova, Ingrid Garcia, Andrew Dana Hudson and D.K. Mok.

Reviews for Solarpunk: Short Stories from Many Futures

""Overall, the book is fascinating [and] beautifully put together. This hardcover-only volume includes foiled covers and printed edges and is the sort of thing you might leave out on a coffee table if only to be looked at and not read. However, this is a collection that you should read - it may teach you a lot about various technologies that are intended for a better tomorrow."" -- Medium
