This anthology explores the possibilities of solarpunk, a movement that, rather than dwelling on present-day anxieties, invites us to imagine a better future. In thirteen stories from six countries, the authors present scenarios in which hope and strategy converge to address the environmental, social and political challenges of our time. Topics covered include climate change, biodiversity loss, biotechnology and multi-species migration, with a strong focus on creating a sustainable, resilient world. This book offers a vision of a solarpunk future where determination and collectivity lie at the heart of change. It is a journey through utopian imaginations born of reality.
