The SolarPunk movement began as a literary movement – and it’s going decidedly mainstream.

This is on the New York Times recommended reading list this week:

AFTERGLOW: Climate Fiction for Future Ancestors, edited by Grist. (The New Press, paperback, $16.99.) Drawing from literary movements like Afrofuturism, hopepunk and solarpunk, this collection of 12 short stories approaches climate change with hope for the radically different futures humans might create.
