"Sunvault: Stories of Solarpunk and Eco-Speculation is the first anthology to broadly collect solarpunk short fiction, artwork, and poetry. A new genre for the 21st Century, solarpunk is a revolution against despair. Focusing on solutions to environmental disasters, solarpunk envisions a future of green, sustainable energy used by societies that value inclusiveness, cooperation, and personal freedom. Edited by Phoebe Wagner and Bront� Christopher Wieland, Sunvault focuses on the stories of those inhabiting the crucial moments when great change can be made by people with the right tools; stories of people living during tipping points, and the spaces before and after them; and stories of those who fight to effect change and seek solutions to ecological disruption. Contributors include Elgin Award nominee Kristine Ong Muslim, New York Times bestselling author Daniel Jose Older, James Tiptree, Jr. Award winner Nisi Shawl, World Fantasy Award winner Lavie Tidhar, and Lambda Literary Awards finalist A.C. Wise, as well as Jess Barber, Santiago Belluco, Lisa M. Bradley, Chloe N. Clark, Brandon Crilly, Yilun Fan and translator S. Qiouyi Lu, Jaymee Goh, Jos� M.

Seems mostly amateur. I got halfway, then came to reviews to see what others' favorite stories to skip ahead to. The only one I like well enough in the whole collection to recommend is Reset by [a:Jaymee Goh|4632659|Jaymee Goh|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1449957507p2/4632659.jpg], and even there it's not the writing so much as the What If sf exploration that I love. Sorry.

Maybe it's only hopepunk that I want? I thought climate fiction that got tagged solarpunk would be less sad and discouraging.

Some really interesting stories but an uneven collection. Not as hopeful as I expect solarpunk to be. A lot that feels more dystopian. (

I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

It was very fitting to name this anthology Sunvault, because it was truly a vault of little treasures. A collection of short stories, poems, and even drawings about the sun, plants, water, and different methods to live in peace with our planet. In them, you can find dozens of creative inventions, from solar-powered giraffes to green children. You can find activists who risk their lives and freedom for others, and people who are just trying to live in this world. You can also find the characteristics and people of many different cultures.

There were almost 40 pieces of stories, poems or drawings in this anthology. Some of them were more difficult to read, with science or cultural references that I didn’t quite understand. But there were also stories that made me cry, and stories that made me scared, or hopeful for our future – or all of the above.

First, the anthology opens with a Foreword: On the Origins of Solarpunk, as well as an editor’s note, which was pretty useful, given that (other than a few very short pieces of writing) this anthology was my first “longer” introduction to solarpunk.

It would take forever to review every single story, so I’m going to talk about some of my favourites.

Full review on my blog. (
