I'm a Science Fiction fan. I've read a fair amount about what Solarpunk is ideologically, looked at inspo albums, and things like that, but I haven't yet read any works of Solarpunk fiction.

What are a few of the works of Solarpunk fiction that you feel best represent Solarpunk, or showcase its literary possibilities? Whether that's more from a writing quality standpoint or an entertainment standpoint, I'm not picky.

Most of Ursula le Guin’s work, she’s pretty much the grandmother of solar punk sci-fi.

The short story “A Fisherman of the Inland Sea” (in the collection of the same name) is a good place to start if you haven’t read her stuff before and want a quick sample.
