Hi Fediverse, I am looking for scifi books that depict a future where humanity is overcoming the obstacles of Today and are building a better future.

@themipper I recommend A Half-Built Garden by Emrys! It's a really lovely and wholesome climate utopia, and it's set in a not-too-distant future which makes it much more concrete and grounded.
It also stands out for having a world that is still kind of messy. For the most part, they've gotten rid of capitalism and the nation-state, but it's kind of like monarchy is today - figureheads and enclaves remain whilst most of the world has (effectively) moved on. It's some really rich world-building.
#books #solarpunk #sciFi@ptinou thanks, will check it out.

@artcollisions @enriquericos thanks, I will check it out.
@themipper @enriquericos I've only read Psalm for the Wild Built, but it has some really sweet ideas. I thought you might be interested, Rico.

@themipper @iamhand The Monk & Robot Duology by Becky Chambers is a great read.
I was really surprised, how different the tone and mood was compared to other SciFi I read before. https://www.otherscribbles.com/#/a-psalm-for-the-wild-built/ | https://www.otherscribbles.com/#/a-prayer-for-the-crown-shy/ -
