I have only just noticed this challenge daxxh and it is right up my street. My idea for next year was to set up a challenge focused on anarchist sci-fi and then I mentally expanded it to utopias, books which explore liberty and freedom and non-hierarchical and non-oppressive systems of living. I'd heard of hopepunk before but have never heard of the term solar punk and so many of the books are already thematically what I was kind of thinking of. So happy you have set up this mini-challenge - I may not get to it until later in the year but it's something positive to look forward to, especially since I am reading grimdark fiction this year!

Location: Great Lakes, USA		I read Kim Stanley Robinson's California Trilogy last year. They are on Solarpunk Lists. I liked them.

I was going to read Green Earth by KSR for this challenge, but am having trouble finding a copy ( a cheap copy - I buy too many books to pay $20.00 a book).
