I highly recommend The Dispossessed by Ursula Le Guin.
@syl https://wiki.futurelab.social/en/TheLibrary is a good place to start :)
Thank you!
BTW, you have a typo on your first page/home page. It says "compasion" when it should be "compassion"
If you're looking for theory, The Ecology of Freedom by Murray Bookchin is where it's at
Any sci fi novel by Ursula K. le Guin will have solarpunk elements, especially The Dispossessed
Interesting... what made you think The dispossessed has solarpunk elements? Obviously anarchist but I feel like it doesn't have much focus on balance with the natural world, just in how the inhabitants of Anarres feel like the people on Urras have an actual planet and treat it like shit while they have a deserted planet and try as hard as they can to be In balance with it.
@Lyrata @syl My notes on Bookchin's The Ecology of Freedom are at https://hubeventsnotes.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-ecology-of-freedom.html
