Solarpunk: Ecological and Fantastical Stories in a Sustainable World by Gerson Lodi-Ribeiro, Carlos Orsi
2.0
This collection is a strange mix. All stories are interesting in their own way, but I only really liked two of them: Xibalba Dreams of the West by André Silva and Sun in the Heart by Roberta Spindler.
In all other stories there was at least some amount of machismo present that might be typical and an indication for the sad reality in Brazil and Portugal. I must admit that's one of the main reasons most of this anthology fell flat for me.
Most of the stories had a late 70s/early 80s feel to them and felt outdated despite the intruiging ideas presented in them. I feel like seeing a list of each author's main influences would be quite revealing.
