Looking for Long-form Solarpunk Fiction I can loose myself in, any suggestions? (self.fiction)

I love Octavia Butler and N.K. Jemisin's work, but most of the solarpunk content I've come across is short stories. What would y'all recommend that I can get lost in for a while?

@clover Walkaway was neat, and Half-Built Garden was lovely, and The Disposessed is a classic. Maybe one of those will tickle your fancy? A longer list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/131328.Solarpunk_Community_Discord_List

I liked Doctorow's Walkaway a lot. I was not prepared for what the subreddit was. I realize that they only share a name, but I walked into that sub thinking it was fans of the book.

I've tried Le Guin a few times and haven't been able to get into her work. I will check out Half-built Garden, thanks!

Walkaway was awesome

I'm really enjoying Walkaway. I went in not knowing much aside from the fact that it was recommended by a solarpunk group I'm in. It's been quite a surprise to read! The Dispossessed is definitely my next book

@metalplates I'm not a huge fan of where the end of the book goes, but the solarpunk future it imagines has a lot going for it ime.

Yeah I'm nearly done with Chapter 3 which has been a WILD RIDE
