if you're fishing for a book recommendation, there's Existence by David Brin. this is one of my favorite books. it touches on space, technology, human genetics, and corporate power and wealth. and it's very entertaining. I'm also reading The Postman by Brin. also interesting, so far.

Hey friends — I just dropped a new blog post that started as a brain dump and evolved into a full-on sci-fi-flavored vision for a future Carbon Industry.
Big ideas. Chill tone. Real hope.

Hello fediverse solarpunks! We’re Solarpunk Presents Podcast, a podcast run on a shoestring budget by two lady solarpunks, one in Canada (@arielkroon) and one in Germany (@xtinadr@wandering.shop). We’re not great with technology, but we happen to both be PhDs from the opposite sides of the spectrum between STEM and Humanities/the Arts, and we’re united in our working towards solarpunk futures.
Our podcast is an interview-style podcast where we talk to guests and each other about various aspects of solarpunk, renewable energies, political action, and more. Often, our guests are people who wouldn’t label themselves as solarpunks, but are (and have been, often for years) quietly involved in working towards making the world a better place to live in. We strongly believe that once you get past the aesthetic and hype about renewables, solarpunk at its core promotes compassion, kinship with non-humans and humans alike, and grace for our fellow human beings as we all work together to survive on our shared planet.
You can support the podcast on Patreon, with tiers starting at just $1 USD! We host a monthly solarpunk hangout that all of our patrons are invited to, and all Patrons at the $3 tier and up receive early access to our episodes. There are more tiers with more extras, so head to https://patreon.com/solarpunkpresents to see them all. We also take one-time or recurring donations over at our PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=4QYBB8LGBC6FS
Even if you’re not in the financial position to donate, we really value other forms of support, such as positive reviews on your podcatcher of choice (it helps us be more visible and reach more solarpunks!), or subscriptions to our YouTube channel and comments there. As writers, we thrive on feedback, and we are continually trying to make the podcast better and want to know what you think.
As I’ve said before, it's rough out there for anyone valuing the environment, social justice, compassion, and more, and we want to keep doing our part to keep hope alive. We want to broaden the imagination of what it's possible to do to contribute to a better world, no matter who you are, where you live, or what life stage you're at.

It's a map of Asia divided not by countries, but by river basins, watersheds - the most natural way of dividing land. A beautiful #solarpunk symbol.
It's also available as a print in the artist's store! https://www.grasshoppergeography.com/products/river-basin-map-of-india-and-china-with-black-background-fine-art-print

"Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052-2072" by #EmanAbdelhadi and #MEOBrien might be a really good #solarpunk book covering a speculative future.

People have questioned whether my #scifi setting assumes too rapid of adoption and normalization of people turning themselves into #furries using near-future biochemical and robotic-surgery technology, to the point where, 100 years from now, it's become a deep rooted part of human culture.
To argue in favor if this...
Personal automobiles were invented less than 100 years before I was born. They were normalized to my grandparents, despite not being owned by their parents when they were born. Even when I was a child the idea that most people had cars and they were everywhere was so normal that even the elderly teachers in my elementary school didn't bat an eye at all the car safety stuff.
Airplane travel was totally normalized by the time I was born, despite airplanes only having even existed for about 100 years.
When I was born, cell phones were an oddity, and nothing like the one I'm using to write this without a second thought.

"The Street Enters the House," Umberto Boccioni, 1911.
Boccioni (1882-1916) had a brief life but was a seminal figure in the Futurist movement. He started off as a Neo-Impressionist, but with this painting he kicked off a transition into Futurism, both in painting and sculpture.
Futurism, mostly an Italian movement emphasized dynamism, speed, technology, youth, violence, and objects such as the car, the airplane, and the industrial city, as we see here with the woman looking over her balcony at the noisy goings-on. A general interpretation is that the images represent the sounds coming in through the window.
Boccioni also did a few canvases centered on bicycles and some sculptures that focused on suggesting movement rather than simple presenting a body at rest.
Boccioni was drafted into the Italian Army during WWI and was killed during a training exercise; he fell off his horse and was trampled by it.

The future answers to current problems are in history books.

Rombi d’aereo (Rumble of the airplane) by Tullio Crali, 1927
It took me a minute to see the biplane. I had thought the picture represented only the sound.
The date might be wrong - Wikipedia says the artist took his first flight in 1928, and joined a group of artists in the new "aeropittura" movement a year later. Their goal was to completely change perspective in painting away from the ground-level and its familiar details.
