Can anyone recommend any good novels or short stories set in a solar punk setting? I read a lot of sci-fi but somehow have never read anything set in this setting, I guess The Culture books could be considered solar punk in some ways but it’s almost too futuristic.

Thanks, will definitely have a look there!
Songs from the Stars by Norman Spinrad has an interesting take on a semi-solar punk post apocalyptic setting.
Thanks I’ll check it!
Nice! Never heard of this book, I love Ursula K LeGuin but there are some books I’ve not read yet! Will definitely check it thanks!
“Green Days in Brunel” by Bruce Sterling is a classic post-oil solar up story. Written before the genre was systematized. For a novel series, there’s the Mars Trilogy by Stanley Kim Robinson. It’s a classic, deals with terraforming, humanity’s relation to nature, transhumanism, and libertarian socialism.
Thanks, I’ll check it, haven’t read Sterling for a long time!
