Hey folks, appologies if this has been asked before (although surprisingly I couldn’t find a similar post) - what solarpunk book, film, game, tv, etc recommendations does every have?
I’m only just discovering the genre, looking for some good starting points!
Solarpunk magazine is a great place to start https://solarpunkmagazine.com/
“Always Coming Home” by Ursula K Le Guin.
Check out the card game ‘Earthborne Rangers” too.
nausicaä and the valley of the wind. environmentalism shows up a lot in miyazaki’s work, but nausicaä is the most direct about it and aligns with solarpunk in its messaging and themes.
I think Nausicaa or the valley of the wind would qualify, despite being more of a post-apocalyptic setting the overall morality of the film is very in line with solarpunk.
Edit: Here’s the opening scene to give you a sense of it: https://youtu.be/4YklSnS-P78?si=mzAao7YeQsodHOg_
