Solarpunk: Ecological and Fantastical Stories in a Sustainable World
by Fabio Fernandes
Imagine a sustainable world, run on clean and
renewable energies that are less aggressive to the environment. Now imagine
humanity under the impact of these changes. This is the premise Brazilian
editor Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro proposed, and these authors took the challenge to
envision hopeful futures and alternate histories. The stories in this anthology explore terrorism against green
corporations, large space ships propelled by the pressure of solar radiation,
the advent of photosynthetic humans, and how different society might be if we
had switched to renewable energies much earlier in history. Originally
published in Brazil and translated for the first time from the Portuguese by
Fábio Fernandes, this anthology of optimistic science fiction features nine authors
from Brazil and Portugal including Carlos Orsi, Telmo Marçal, Romeu Martins,
Antonio Luiz M. Costa, Gabriel Cantareira, Daniel I. Dutra, André S. Silva,
Roberta Spindler, and Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro.
