    I’ve just read Freedom farmers: agricultural resistance and the Black Freedom Movement (Monica M. White). The french translation was just added to my town public library.

    Do you guys read in English only or do you have Books in other language as well?

      @zd9 @vudu
      First, yes everything by Octavia Butler is awesome!
      !!!

      Second, as a warning, imho, parable of the sower is beautiful but pretty harsh- painful. The following one, parable of the talents follows the story arcs into a bit more inspiring (hopeful?) direction, with some more kinda astonishingly correct predictions, and a lot deeper look into the beautiful of how society could be …

        Yep that’s what I’ve heard about Parable of the Sower but all the more reason to read it. I work on a cluster called Butler named after her so apparently she’s pretty good.

        I personally do not believe Parable of the Sower is solarpunk because (for me) it does not demonstrate possible hopeful and sustainable futures.

          @vudu Yes that’s what i said above. but that’s why i mentioned the sequel (parable of the talents) which imho very much does demonstrate that beautiful potential.

        Yes walkaway was good- interesting. It used an entertaining plot, chars, setting, etc to really explore some alternative methods of political/ societal functioning.

        I’d love to listen to folks (smarter than me) compare or even role play thru that book and some of his others and some cultures from Becky Chambers work and Octavia Butler’s and LeGuin and Starhawk’s and so many others…

    Books everywhere on many diy shelves scattered with drives filled with ebooks just in case the nazis come so I can bury them like a dog.

      I thought about doing some kind of screenshot, but then I’d have to tag the solarpunk related ones and that would be too much effort :D

      I mostly gave up on paper books, but I miss having nice bookshelves a bit. Yours looks very nice! I must admit I don’t know any of those.
