Good novels or short stories? (feddit.de)

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.

@pablonaj I've heard really, really great things about Becky Chamber's "Monk and Robot" novellas.

Short stories are where you see a lot of great #Solarpunk stuff.

The "Glass and Gardens" collections edited by @sarenaulibarri are great and were one of my first introductions to the genre. Her "Another Life" novella is also great.

The "Sunvault" collection edited by @Pheebsdw is well regarded.

I've also subscribed to "Solarpunk Magazine" and I've been genuinely impressed by the stories.
