Sargon of ACABLooking at that list, you might also be interested in the novel Walkaway.
WillYes walkaway was good- interesting. It used an entertaining plot, chars, setting, etc to really explore some alternative methods of political/ societal functioning.
I'd love to listen to folks (smarter than me) compare or even role play thru that book and some of his others and some cultures from Becky Chambers work and Octavia Butler's and LeGuin and Starhawk's and so many others...
@zd9 @vudu
First, yes everything by Octavia Butler is awesome!
!!!
Second, as a warning, imho, parable of the sower is beautiful but pretty harsh- painful. The following one, parable of the talents follows the story arcs into a bit more inspiring (hopeful?) direction, with some more kinda astonishingly correct predictions, and a lot deeper look into the beautiful of how society could be ...
Yep that’s what I’ve heard about Parable of the Sower but all the more reason to read it. I work on a GPU cluster called Butler named after her (among others like Hemingway, Murakami, Asimov, and Kafka) so apparently she’s pretty good.
I personally do not believe Parable of the Sower is solarpunk because (for me) it does not demonstrate possible hopeful and sustainable futures.
That’s what I have so far. I’ve read or referred to most of them. DM me if anyone wants anything.
Do you have a favorite for aquaponics? Also I’d love the food forest ones and propagation.
Thank you! Can’t wait to dig in.

pseudoI’ve just read Freedom farmers: agricultural resistance and the Black Freedom Movement (Monica M. White). The french translation was just added to my town public library.
Do you guys read in English only or do you have Books in other language as well?
