Wrapping up Solar Punk Season

We are wrapping up our season on Solar Punk with three heavy hitting books.

The final three books of the season are Seveneves by Neal Stephenson, Earth Abides by George R. Stewart and Walkaway by Cory Doctorow..

Seveneves begins with the destruction of the moon, wiping out all life on Earth. Survivors build a civilization in space for 5,000 years, until the Earth is habitable again.

In Earth Abides, a pandemic wipes out most of humanity and the main character travels the country, observing how animal and plant life adapt to an ecosystem without humans. Over the course of his life he sees what remains from the old civilization, and what does not.

Walkaway is about informal groups who “walk away” from corrupt American society by building and surviving in areas of land destroyed by climate change.

These books create worlds in which humanity must deal with a worldwide crisis and build a better society for the future.

Read Seveneves for our next book discussion. You can get your copy of all the books using our affiliate links here:
