Can anyone recommend any good novels or short stories set in a solar punk setting? I read a lot of sci-fi but somehow have never read anything set in this setting, I guess The Culture books could be considered solar punk in some ways but it's almost too futuristic.

“Green Days in Brunel” by Bruce Sterling is a classic post-oil solar up story. Written before the genre was systematized. For a novel series, there's the Mars Trilogy by Stanley Kim Robinson. It's a classic, deals with terraforming, humanity's relation to nature, transhumanism, and libertarian socialism.

Thanks, I'll check it, haven't read Sterling for a long time!
