Solarpunk fiction is a form of climate fiction, but by focusing on the changes we could make, it can move us past climate anxiety, says author and editor Sarena Ulibarri. She introduces us to five favourites: ranging from near-future to far-future, they present a collection of thought experiments in the ways humanity might yet choose to live.

That's an imprtant novel, too. It's worth noting that Sarena Ulibarri stated on Mastodon :

I'm never so bold as to claim that the things I enjoy are objectively "the best," but Five Books asked me for a list of #solarpunk books I recommend, so I listed five I think more people should read.
