Stellar, a very convincing vision of how we can move towards a Solar Punk world. (stellarworld.com)

Just finished the stellarbook, by James Arbib and Tony Seba (from RethinkX). They make a very interesting case on how we can move from our current extractive societies to one of abundance. It touches on many themes that are well known in the solar punk community, still it brought together a clear overview and model of where we are now and how to get to a better world.

I was wondering if anyone here has read it as well. And what your take is.

Thanks for your cynisism, but they do have a lot of free reading as well regarding the topic at RethinkX.com. Besides, realistically book publishing isn't free yet, so I get they use a paid channel for book readers.

Nah, they just do not trust me to donate if their material is good, best case scenario. I dont have enough time to read all the good stuff published by people who respect their audience to pay for this... Wait a minute, not even to them but to hardcore unethical publishing house?!

Asking your local library to acquire a copy might sting a little less, even if they do purchase it through Amazon.
