Can anyone recommend any good novels or short stories set in a solar punk setting? I read a lot of sci-fi but somehow have never read anything set in this setting, I guess The Culture books could be considered solar punk in some ways but it’s almost too futuristic.
Definitely second the /c/fiction recommendation but I’ll also add for short stories that I’ve enjoyed these two magazines: https://reckoning.press/ and https://littlebluemarble.ca/
I’ve recently been reading The Terraformers, and have found an interesting mix of solarpunk ideals in the main characters and the set dressing, and some very cyberpunk stuff in the background of the planet and larger galactic society. So often genre is almost about what part of a setting you zoom in on and they’re much more mingled so far than I’d expected here.
I’ll also always recommend Ecotopia, if only because I don’t see it pop up as often.
