Well, I guess it's not funny.
It's kind of sad that you hear so many people today talking about how we're living the dystopian sci-fi predictions of the past.
And what kind of captured my imagination when I stumbled upon Solar Punk was this idea that if we can imagine these kind of awful technology-fueled futures that then become reality, what happens if we imagine better technology-fueled futures?
All right.
We are going to take a quick break, but we will be right back.
All right, we are back to talk more about solar punk with Phoebe Wagner.
And can you tell us a little bit about the genre's relationship, particularly to the green energy transition?
How do Solarpunk stories deal with economic issues?
Once I started seeing, you know, this description of solarpunk, I realized that it shows up quite a bit in anime, which anybody who listens to the show knows I watch a lot of anime.
I mean, where are we seeing solarpunk influences in media and art and other aspects that people might recognize?
And people are also talking about it as like an aesthetic as well.
Why do you think people are turning to solar punk now?
Yeah, when I think about sort of cyberpunk and some of these other dystopian ideas, often the solution proposed is either escape or destruction, right?
Like either the whole system needs to burn down and start from scratch or, you know, you need to escape to some far off planet where things are going to be better.
And this is very different.
Are there examples of sort of the solar punk ethos, aesthetic idea that are playing out in real life right now, not just in fiction?
If folks are interested in checking out solar punk stories, like where should they begin?
Phoebe Wagner, they are a writer, academic, and editor of three solarpunk anthologies, including the one called Sun Vault, Stories of Solarpunk and Eco-Speculation.
Thank you so much for joining us, Phoebe.
All right.
