I was into cyberpunk before I got interested in solarpunk and am much better read in cyberpunk fiction. That said, I think at least as genres, they're two sides of the same coin. Cyberpunk is full of warnings, hopefully solarpunk is full of solutions.

I am the same way as you. I learned about Solarpunk through someone who was Cyberpunk like I am, and it turned into the conversation that made me see it as all connected. Cyberpunk is what our world is becoming by those who are above us, closer and closer every day. Soon it will shift into Lunarpunk and Solarpunk as we push for the change of what we want.

That was a really nice introduction to Solarpunk, and with great production values! I do think her idea that it needs to solidify on a specific architectural style to really take off was a bit... Odd, I guess. I just kinda doubt that if we had one type of style to choose from, it would make people 'come together' around it more, but that's just my two cents.

Glad to see Solarpunk really penetrating into mainstream thought and discourse.
