@alxd I started but did not finish Ministry. I may give it another go. One KSR novel that I would say is solarpunk is Pacific Edge, though at the time I read it I was not aware of solarpunk and I don’t think the concept existed when he wrote it.
@londubh I didn't really want "The Ministry..." to be Solarpunk, as in - there's too little space in such a huge book to look at particular communities. But I did want it not to be technosolutionist. I wanted it not to be blind to the Global South. I wanted it not to create an AI-generated, Blockchain-based religion to support a Shadow Government.
