It's here! #ClimateImagination a collection of hopeful futures, both science fiction and academic reflection... Names you know, some you will want to know...

I try to do things, write stories, collaborate with people, that are persistently trying to make the world better, more hopeful. This is all of that.

My short story is called #StormpunkIslands. Just before the piece with #KimStanleyRobinson

Wie großartig: Der #Carcosa - Verlag wird die deutsche Erstausgabe von Kim Stanley Robinsons "Green Earth"-Trilogie vor dem Erscheinen des jeweiligen Bandes frei im Netz zur Verfügung stellen:

"Grüne Erde hat ein dezidiert politisches Anliegen und möchte möglichst viele Menschen erreichen."

Ich werde mir die Bücher natürlich trotzdem kaufen, allein schon um das zu unterstützen.

También, novelas proto-solarpunk como Los Desposeídos de la autora anarcofeminista Ursula K. #LeGuin, #Ecotopia de Ernest #Callenbach y El Ministerio del Futuro de #KimStanleyRobinson no pueden faltar en la estantería de cualquier activista con el optimismo necesario para querer salvar el mundo y el realismo necesario para poder hacerlo. #scifi #clifi

"New results in biology indicate that the #SciFi idea of the multi-generational starship, which is already the only realistic way for humans to cross interstellar distances, will not work, because any closed biological life-support system will be too small to function over the centuries required.
[…]
So at this point, it’s important to point out that the idea of humanity going to the stars is a fantasy and is not going to happen."
