[Out Now]: SOLARPUNK: Ecological and Fantastical Stories in a Sustainable World

About a year ago, we secured the rights to translate the world's first solarpunk anthology, published in Portuguese in 2012, and ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the translation. Backers received their copies earlier this summer, but now it's officially on sale in ebook and paperback! SOLARPUNK: ECOLOGICAL AND FANTASTICAL STORIES IN A SUSTAINABLE WORLD, edited by Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro and translated by Fábio Fernandes, contains nine stories from Brazil and Portugal, exploring humanity's relationship with alternative energy sources. Each story also features an original illustration by Portuguese artist José Baetas.
