I am trying to read more climate fiction and solar punk this year, so I welcome recommendations. So far I've read Cory Doctorow's The Lost Cause and Annalee Newitz's Terraformers.

On my list to read is:
Kim Stanley Robinson -The Ministry For The Future and
Omar El Akkad - American War

I could use a few more.
