Can anyone recommend some good solarpunk novels or videos for me? I could use some hope. Feels like I'm in the bottom of the Pit of Despair, with no escape in sight!

@Quasit I recommed you all the books of Becky Chambers, but especially "A psaulm for the wild-built" 💚 peaceful and quiet #hopepunk
And in another way there's also "Everything for everyone" from Eman Abdelhadi and M.E. O'Brien.
Hope it will help you !

@marionkarle @Quasit on the other hand, Psalm for the wild built is young adult type of novel, recommend lowering your expectations. Simplistic world building and plot points forced one by one can't be excused by the convention.

I'm cool with YA. I still read children's books, even though it's been half a century since I was a child. I've always been very small-c catholic in my tastes!

@Quasit alrighty, I think I was disappointed because no one told me that. This book was so hyped and I had Expectations :) with the right approach it's probably very enjoyable

Expectations can definitely make a huge difference. One of my favorite movies had a TERRIBLE commercial on TV. I went in expecting a huge disappointment.

Instead I was delighted!
