   Any recommendations for non-fiction #solarpunk literature? Ideally non-fiction, but fiction works too! I've already read a few anarchist works that predate solarpunk as a distinct movement, but definitely inform it (i.e. Bookchin's Ecology of Freedom), but wondered if there were any other introductory works that I could recommend to a friend. 🍃

     @radeen are you looking for self-claimed solarpunk or "assigned aesthetic"?

     @radeen Well, an older book definately would be Buttys "Golden Thread: 2500 Years of Solar Architecture and Technology". I would put Latours "On the Emergence of an Ecological Class" as well up there.

     Gideon Kossoff worked with bookchin and does the Transition Design these days. He wrote on Cosmopolitain Localism before there was Solarpunk emergence.

     Maybe some of these resonate with you.

     @woodbark Preferably the former, but honestly "assigned aesthetic" lit often informs the movement anyway, and I think it would be lovely to have an abundance of resources if you had any reccommendations! 😊

     @playinprogress latour basically addresses this toenail curling and writes about, that this is legitimate curling. I am not completely done, but he goes for a restatement of materialism (not a Marxian one, but one of materiality). Still he says it's not an easy clear decision yet, this requires people acting upon it.
     So far, it is better than other approaches to claim ecology as the new devider

     @woodbark @radeen uhhhh, these all sounds super tasty and I hadn't heard of any of them yet 😅. How convincing do you find the "idea of a new ecological class" in the Latour? My toenails tend to curl a bit whenever people try to do new fancy things with the term "class", but does this one make sense to you?
