Original voices from across the solarpunk movement, which positions ingenuity, generativity, and community as ways to resist hopelessness in response to the climate crisis. Almanac for the Anthropocene collects original voices from across the solarpunk movement, which positions ingenuity, generativity, and community as beacons of resistance to the hopelessness often inspired by the climate crisis. To point toward practical implementation of the movement’s ideas, it gathers usable blueprints that bring together theory and practice. The result is a collection of interviews, recipes, exercises, DIY instructions, and more—all of it amounting to a call to create hope through action. Inspired by a commitment to the idea that there can be no environmental justice without decolonial and racial justice, Almanac for the Anthropocene unites in a single volume both academic and practical responses to environmental crisis. “I’m thankful for all that Wagner and Wieland have done to gather and champion those working in the solarpunk movement, and I believe this book will help bring new solarpunks into the fold, ready to join them in further thought and action.” Matt Bell, author of  Appleseed “Wagner and Wieland demonstrate the breadth of the solarpunk movement through the collection’s ferocious expression of many possible futures, giving us tools and strategies for bringing those about, but reminding us that the conversation is not, and perhaps not ever, over.” Sean Guynes, coeditor of  Uneven Futures: Strategies for Community Survival from Speculative Fiction "With their new anthology,  Almanac for the Anthropocene , Wagner and Wieland continue to break new ground in the solarpunk genre. And like  Sunvault , this new collection of work is sure to be a core component of solarpunk's standard reading curriculum."  -- Justine Norton-Kertson,  Solarpunk Magazine Almanac for the Anthropocene  collects original voices from across the solarpunk movement, which positions ingenuity, generativity, and community as beacons of resistance to the hopelessness often inspired by the climate crisis.
