Ooh – Becky Chambers has a recent novella which is apparently solarpunk. I very much enjoyed her Wayfarers books, so will give this a read for sure.

davidak (chaos.social)@neil interesting. Can you explain why and maybe have a link to relevant literature?
I’m currently reading Towards a Liberatory Technology and that’s what prompted this thought.
It was written in the 60s, and discusses:
– alternative and renewable energy
– small, decentralised communities
– harmony and intertwining of town and country, nature and technology
– anti-capitalism
– animism
Here are the notes I’m taking – https://anagora.org/towards-a-liberatory-technology
Murray Bookchin was an OG solarpunk.
> If [the Luddites] had their way we wouldn’t be living in a world with ‘no technology’, we’d be living in a world where communities have a say in the technological decisions that will impact them.

I’ve been using my social reader a bit more again recently. It is very cool especially when set up with brid.gy, I can follow people on Twitter and interact with them there while not actually really being on Twitter.

IAM weekend looks good. https://www.iam-internet.com/weekend/
But €50 I cant really justify when I won’t have the time to watch much of it.
This week for node club I’ll be noding [[Liberatory technology]]. Starting from Murray Bookchin’s take on it I think.
