This is an important book for anyone following a dharma tradition in the US, whether or not they consider themselves radical. As is so often the case in these traditions, this book doesn't offer ready-made, neatly-packaged answers; rather, it raises some deeply significant questions and offers some tools to engage with them.

@isoughtajam@sfba.social Welcome!

As the title says: queer solarpunk first-contact sci-fi!

Recommended for anyone that liked:

• the first book of the Wanderer series by Becky Chambers
• for anyone solar-curious
• for nerds with kids
• for nerds without kids
• for fans of peer-to-peer mesh networks (yes, really)

It definitely has some weird bits, not necessarily in a negative sense. I enjoyed this a bunch and kept telling people about during my travels in the past weeks—so that's probably a better recommendation indicator than anything!

The author even coined a potential subgenre in describing the book: diaperpunk!

@TakeV I have been using it very abstractly and occasionally, myself. I also use a stripped down version at work and find that it is quite helpful for organizing thoughts.

I don't think I write down enough stuff with it yet but hopefully someday!

I found this wholly uninteresting. Seemed to be very focused on celebrities and privileged life. I wasn't able to find any interesting nuance, and it didn't feel very organized or coherent to me.

I just suspect it isn't for me. It just feels very allistic in a way that is incomprehensible to me as an autistic person, I guess. I can certainly imagine it appealing to someone else.

I'm not sure what else to say because I just didn't get it at all?
