Reclaiming the Future - Lex - Medium

Solarpunk is the positive counterpart to the omnipresent popcultural apocalyptic scenarios — can it help to mobilize people to take action against climate change? Frederick Jameson once said that…

@lex "By now, the status quo has overtaken those visions, and cyberpunk stories can’t really add anything to it except for more lasers and faster computers."
Yes. Thank you, that's what's going on in my brain all year.
@5tern1 @lex This line stood out to me too, and said a thing I didn't realize I was thinking. I discovered solarpunk very recently, and have been a long time fan of cyberpunk. There's still amazing cyberpunk works I love and recommend, but it feels like each new cyberpunk work is more style and less substance. Everything worth saying in that genre has been said, so now let's stop critiquing the path we're on and imagine the paths we can switch to.

@lex Thank you! Good intro and overview, and just enough to get new people curious to start exploring more for themselves :)

Really like your work - keep it up! 🌱

@lex I'm new to the genre. I found your article to be a helpful overview (and I love the illustrations). I happened to pick up a copy of Ministry for the Future just today!
