A poll on Mastodon: what’s the overlap between fans of Star Trek and fans of the sci fi genre of solarpunk?
I would appreciate an explanation as to what solarpunk is.
It’s like Cyberpunk but, instead of the world being taken over by evil corporations it’s run by a bunch of hippies lol
It’s also a real life movement that’s basically wants the above to happen.
Isn’t the Venn diagram a circle?
That was my thought as well.
I think you replied to yourself…
It’s not quite: a key feature of solarpunk is nature, and our relationship to it. Trek is definitely aligned in concept, but aside from specific episodes, our relationship with nature is not a central theme.
Solarpunk is also usually closer to the present or more direct in its critique of current challenges like climate breakdown.
