Join us to discuss "Psalm for the Wild-Built" by Becky Chambers, a wonderful example of "solarpunk" fiction which seeks to empower us to work together for a better future. The novel is an optimistic look at how technology and humanity can thrive in an environment that is coming back from the brink of disaster. It's a fascinating counterpoint and companion to this year's One Read book. Adults.
As part of our One Read program, join the monthly Skylarking Bookclub to discuss "Psalm for the Wild-Built," by Becky Chambers. This novel, the first in the "Monk and Robot" series, is a wonderful example of "solarpunk" fiction. Unlike many genres that imagine the future in often grimly dystopic terms, solarpunk seeks to offer hope that will empower individuals and communities to work together for a better future. The novel is an optimistic look at how technology and humanity can exist and thrive in a lush, beautiful environment that is coming back from the brink of disaster. It is a fascinating counterpoint and companion to the ideas presented in this year's One Read selection, "Migrations."
