Happy one-year birthday to ANOTHER LIFE, my #solarpunk novella about reincarnation! @StelliformPress brought this to life one year ago today. Many thanks to everyone who has bought, read, or reviewed it!
A Spanish translation is coming soon from Crononauta, and a Catalan translation from SF Fábula. 🥳
A little late getting this one out today, but I like how it turned out (plus cool videos to watch!).
NEW EPISODE: How to Build a Good Anthropocene
Bright Green Futures — a podcast about stories to build a better world — We're lifting up #solarpunk and #hopeful#ClimateFiction stories to build a better world.
W ramach wskrzeszania wymarłych gatunków, na wymarłego bloga wrzuciłem notkę o "Wścieku" Magdaleny Salik - (post) cyberpunkowym thrillerze climate fiction z wątkiem obyczajowym. Aczkolwiek w notce skupiam się tylko na wątkach klimatycznych.
How about a vision of a future worth fighting for? How about a realistic take on the world we're living in but with a pathway out of the mess?
Someday, they'll decide you're ready for such things. Probably not until readers create another breakaway success like KSR's Ministry for the Future or Becky Chambers' Monk & Robot.
Six weeks left to submit your story to IMAGINE 2200!
Climate fiction needs your voice. Grist’s Imagine 2200 climate fiction contest celebrates diverse visions of a hopeful climate future, and it’s open for submissions right now until June 24, 2024!
Win one of 5 print copies of my Halfway to Better solarpunk short story collection and/or a set of greeting cards with Eddie Spaghetti's linocut print-art used for the covers!
GIVEAWAY ENDS JUNE 9th 2024
OPEN TO US/CANADA only for shipping costs.
SUPER COOL: My story will be in a #climate exhibit in NYC!
THE CLIMATE IMAGINARIUM: a community center for climate & culture (galleries, exhibits, performances, events) that respond to the climate crisis with visions for hope & justice.
There'll be a wall of stories w/QR codes to download & read!
I am trying to read more climate fiction and solar punk this year, so I welcome recommendations. So far I've read Cory Doctorow's The Lost Cause and Annalee Newitz's Terraformers.
On my list to read is:
Kim Stanley Robinson -The Ministry For The Future and
Omar El Akkad - American War
Film "365 dni" nie zawiera wzmianki o zmianach klimatu. Uff, nie muszę oglądać.
Powstał sobie taki oto raport na temat przedstawiania zmian klimatu w popularnych filmach. Autorzy proponują coś w rodzaju testu Bedechel i sprawdzają, w których filmach pojawiła się choćby minimalny sygnał, że w świecie przedstawionym istnieje globalne ocieplenie. Co ma sens. Zmiany klimatu są częścią rzeczywistości, tak jak, dajmy na to, social media. I tak jak w filmie zupełnie o czym innym bohater może przeczytać posta na fejsbuczku albo ponarzekać na tą dzisiejszą młodzież, co tylko w telefonach siedzi, tak samo mógłby ponarzekać, że kiedyś był śnieg zimą albo skomentować jakąś polityczną debatę o klimacie w telewizji.
Dziękuję pan @SkepticalScience, u których to znalazłem.
It makes me happy that there are academics studying hopeful climate storytelling. (I'm setting up an interview for my participation in the second study of this type)
In case you missed it, my #solarpunk short story collection is now available in print and ebook!
These hopeful #climatefiction stories take you from the bottom of the sea to the towers of a bot-filled city, from sparkling labs to flooded lighthouses, all imagining futures halfway to a better world.
"You are my Sunshine" is a song that hums with all the notes of clifi, from the horrifying to the hopeful. Its titular novelette is a bone-chilling plunge into the terrifying depths of our climate reality. Octavia Cade @octaviacade weaves the same spell of sobering disquiet found in her novella, THE IMPOSSIBLE RESURRECTION OF GRIEF, to this collection of sunflowers, starfish & submarine paths to reworlding. A magnificent read. @StelliformPress #clifi#climatefiction#solarpunk#bookreview#sff
