Halfway to Better is a collection of six short solarpunk stories, each exploring a near-future world where we’re struggling to survive the climate crisis and build a better world. These hopeful climate-fiction stories take you from the bottom of the sea to the towers of a bot-filled city, from sparkling labs to flooded lighthouses, all imagining futures halfway to a better world. The seventh book in the series is the collected works, titled the Halfway to Better collection, which contains all six short stories plus a bonus prose-poem, Rewilding Indiana, and its accompanying sky shanty.
I rarely read short stories but when I do, I usually love them. This is no exception, the short stories are creative and inspiring, and motivate me to find small ways to work towards a better future in my own life. I very much enjoyed reading them and the little commentaries in between, and the format makes it easy to read them in between, for example while taking a short break.
