the cover of an old sci-fi book I found! Enjoy!

Very nice! Looks like the artist is Richard Powers, for a 1964 edition.

In this month’s bonus chat, Ariel and Christina discuss Nebula-award-winning short story “The Year Without Sunshine” by Naomi Kritzer – the first winning story that is being labelled solarpunk! Your hosts consider questions such as: what makes this short story solarpunk, actually? What makes it so compelling? If it’s supposed to be solarpunk, why is there no mention of climate change whatsoever?

These questions (and much, much more) are addressed here - but make sure to read the story first, if you don't want spoilers! It's free and takes about 20 minutes all told and is a genuinely excellent piece of short fiction.

Propaganda under cut

Herb: Everyone loves them and doesn't mind them after they automate gathering of them.

Triffids: Triffids are a mobile carnivorous plant. They walk around on three legs and have a venomous stinger they use to kill prey, then rooting beside the body to absorb the nutrients as it decomposes.
