Finished the Terraformers. One of the best books I've read in a long time. A utopian Eco dream within a dystopian capitalist future. So many wild and wonderful images and ideas and one of my favorite and most robust post human world buildings I can remember. I loved every minute of it and cannot recommend it highly enough! The audiobook is even better - the reader's character voices, produced bits of noise and sound, and so on all brought the world to life.

Longer note on my blog: publicfragments.org/2023/06/20/imagining-possibility-from-within-corporate-hellscapes/

Started this book several times over the years and never actually read it cover to cover until now. It's a good book with a number of key concepts used over and over elsewhere, though I'm not sure it was necessary to read it in full.

Working on a formal review of this book. It's a good one, worth a read if you think about power, oppression, agency, and technology

A great companion to Sunvault, a short story collection, Almanac is an essay "compendium" of solarpunk futures. There are a number of excellent essays for building clarity, imagination, and the like about solarpunk as an aesthetic, literary, and activist movement.

Lovely little collection from 2017 that I finally got around to reading. Sci-fi comics that aimed to be inclusive and anti-empire building. Some nice reads.

A fun ride! And intro to forensic accounting, money laundering, crypto nonsense, etc.
