So glad this was posted. I have never heard of this author, and literally just now at this moment I was looking for something like this. Some real life serendipity . Then went down the rabbit hole of checking out the author and her other books. This seems so under the radar.
Could use some hopepunk
From Wired article:
"" Chambers’ name has come to be associated with a specific type of science fiction. It’s known, cutesily and somewhat oxymoronically, as hopepunk. ""

- mtremsal 3y agoIt sounds similar in tone to solarpunk novellas. Great to have one more keyword to search.
- zem 3y agoshe's extremely popular in some circles! my favourites are "record of a spaceborn few" and "a closed and common orbit" (which really should have won awards) but everything she has written is great.
