Nnedi Okorafor’s LaGuardia is a graphic novel sequel to her story Lagoon. She wrote in her Afterward: “I’ve begun to feel a strong need to write narratives that... showcase an optimistic future. This led me to write Lagoon and the Binti trilogy… LaGuardia was… set a few years after Lagoon.” It’s a colorful and fun read about some very plant-like aliens.

One way #reparations can be made is through allowing #climate #migrants from #Africa to settle down in the higher latitudes of #US #Canada #Europe - I explore this possibility in my uplifting #climatefiction book "A New Faith"

In Lagoon by Nnedi Okorafor aliens land near Lagos, Nigeria, and transform the city and the country (with implications for the world). Not exactly solarpunk but definitely hopepunk. Really, if aliens were going to land, I think Lagos would be a better starting place than somewhere in the US. An intense but fun read.
