7.10: Ariel & Christina Discuss the Solarpunk Merits of Walkaway by Cory Doctorow

Cory Doctorow’s 2017 novel Walkaway has a reputation in solarpunk circles as a great example of a solarpunk lifestyle, and a must-read book for everyone from the individual who lives and breathes solarpunk to the solarpunk-curious to general science fiction fans. But what is it about Walkaway that gives it solarpunk cred? Ariel and Christina ponder this, discussing features of the novel that could be considered solarpunk, and some that might be more post-cyberpunk than anything, and how some of the ideologies and technologies are or have been applied in our present world. Is the world of Walkaway an achievable solarpunk paradise, or a nice hopeful story featuring very cool gadgets and bites of lefty philosophy? Or something else entirely? What is the draw, here, anyway? Join us to think through some of the quandaries and ideas the book raises.

Well, after a month of being on Feeld, I have been rejected by someone, who calls himself a "leftist" in his profile, for masking in public to protect myself and people I care about from #covid19.

It isn't that disheartening since I see it as the trash taking itself out, and also, I've been on several dates already with people who don't mask themselves but haven't expressed an issue with my doing so. What does frustrate me is the general lack of care for #DisabilityJustice and the ignorance of so many #leftists of #covid as an intersectional issue. Your so-called "revolution" means nothing if it does not protect people with disabilities.

Marjorie Taylor Greene told Congress “Antifa” killed a cop. She was dead wrong. | Police shot Manuel Terán 57 times. Greene said they're proof that leftists kill cops.
