Hi fellow book nerds! I'm trying to put together a Utopian Book Club (focused on novels and novellas). I want to include LeGuin's The Dispossessed and @pluralistic 's Walkaway, but from there I've got an endless list of mostly white dudes.

What cool utopian fiction by BIPOC writers have I missed out on?

When the Great Sickness came the oligarchs' greed was laid bare. Crushed beyond bending, the people rose up, in large and small ways, tore it all down. Planted trees on the graves of what was. Planted trees everywhere, really. Solar panels, balcony gardens, and backyard chickens too. The means of survival returned to the hands of the people.

...and that's why we say fuckThePatriarchy before each meal. Now eat your veg.

Aw Dad!

Apparantly not everybody can see all of the #SolarPunk #UtopianFiction recommendations so I'll compile them below. Thanks to everybody who has made a recommendation

@wormerama amen sistah!

Dystopian fiction isn't much escape in dystopian times. We need #utopianFiction so we can start to imagine something better. Then Make It Happen! ✊

I don't know anything solar punk (didn't even know that was a thing) but I read a lot of Terry Pratchett - fantasy in a parallel-ish world where they explore social issues with humour and it always turns out well in the end.
