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.

Curiously, all white American authors. I wonder why this keeps happening.

That's certainly not ideal. Do you have any recommendations ?

I haven't read the whole global corpus yet, but two of my favourite authors are Renan Bernardo from Brazil and Wole Talabi from Nigeria (the latter writes more scifi, but has some interesting solarpunk-adjacent stories).

In general, it's much, much harder to find authors from the Global South because USians have such an easier time not only promoting themselves to editors & publishers, but also reaching their audiences.

Solarpunk themed fiction. Books, short stories, movies, games... pretty much anything you can dream of!
