Solarpunk seems far less dystopian, so while it is one successor, it's by no means the preordained one.
Gibson has a post-capitalistic Jackpot trilogy, but that seems to have disappeared into the "post-apocalyptic" box.
Amazon have adapted the first book. It's by far the best adaptation of any Gibson book, according to this commenter
- wjrb 1y agoOff-topic-ish, do you have any solarpunk media (books, movie, whatever) you can recommend? I won't even take a crack at trying to understand all of the time/reality things happening in the Jackpot trilogy.
- gsf_emergency_2 1y agoOoh that's tough. Solarpunk and hightech don't mix! For consolation: Book: Aldous Huxley, Island (Rumor has it Leo Dicaprio is adapting it) Anime: Nausicaa Like Gibson would say, solarpunk is already here: https://youtu.be/JAobfMSX9dg https://youtu.be/JAobfMSX9dg (That's the plane from Nausicaa) There's also the Chobani ad https://youtu.be/z-Ng5ZvrDm4 https://youtu.be/z-Ng5ZvrDm4 (Not usually thought of as such, but Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age is solarpunk in my book-- and pays direct homage to Ralph Merkle!!) Edit: tangential to oncular comment, Switzerland (& Slovenia btw) seems kinda solarpunk to me
