Bright Green Futures: 2024
SHORT STORY COLLECTION (Solarpunk Anthology)
The Bright Green Futures: 2024 anthology is a collection of short solarpunk stories from guests of the Bright Green Futures podcast, where we lift up stories to build a better world. These hopeful climate-fiction stories include clicky space centipedes, sentient trees, a flooded future Rio de Janeiro and characters trying to find their place in a climate-impacted world. Each story imagines a way for us to survive the future, together.
Bright Green Futures: 2024 contains six short stories plus a bonus prose-poem.
- The Doglady and the Rainstorm by Renan Bernardo
- What Kind of Bat is This? by Sarena Ulibarri
- Centipede Station by T. K. Rex
- A Merger in Corn Country by Danielle Arostegui
- Ancestors, Descendants by BrightFlame
- The Park of the Beast by T. K. Rex
- Coriander by Ana Sun
Coriander was long-listed for the 2025 British Science Fiction Association Award and published in Best of British Science Fiction 2025
