Solarpunk is the hopeful counter-current to cyberpunk: a movement in art, fiction, and hands-on practice that imagines a future where technology stands in service of the living — then starts building it, from rooftop solar and community batteries to tool libraries, food forests, repair culture, and the decentralized technology that ties them together.
