Down a sub genre train - I think I‘m going with this one for climate fiction for #booked2019 but it‘s also #solarpunk as a sub genre - @Cinfhen this bunny trail is super interesting! @MrBook I bet you know a lot about sub genres- any lists in that direction? Here‘s a link to unique ones: https://www.bustle.com/p/7-book-sub-genres-that-are-so-extremely-specific-you-pr...

Soubhiville That‘s interesting! I often wonder what category a book I‘m reading might fall under. Sometimes they don‘t seem to quite fit in a less specific genre. 5y
Chrissyreadit @Soubhiville me too- that‘s why I was hoping to see people respond. 5y
Cinfhen Really cool - getting ideas for #Booked2020 😁 5y

Loving this #solarpunk collection of short stories! This up-and-coming new genre had me at "optimistic, environmentally-conscious science fiction." ?

The dog is under the blanket. He came scratching on my door (I'm allergic, so he's not allowed in my room) demanding snuggles, so I had to comply. ? #dogsoflitsy #bostonterriersoflitsy #Pippin

8little_paws What is solarpunk? 5y
Caterina @8little_paws It's a new subgenre within science fiction that's a little loosely defined right now but basically is 1) optimistic (as opposed to dystopian) and 2) has something to do with the environment/a future with renewable energy/climate change/etc. Most of the stories take place in a future where climate change has forced renewable energy and other new, environmental-type tech! It's super cool! 5y
8little_paws Neat! 5y

Wow! I did not expect this story to get so dark--verging on horror--but I really liked it. The fantasy world in which all power seems to come from solar panels is intriguing, and I enjoyed that the main characters are bisexual and agender, but neither is a significant point of conflict. The prose is definitely awkward at times, but I'll be reading Viral Airwaves. (This prequel is a free ebook!) #indieauthor #solarpunk

Clare-Dragonfly Hmm, that's unclear. 🤔One main character is bisexual (and male), the other is agender. 7y
