7.10: Ariel & Christina Discuss the Solarpunk Merits of Walkaway by Cory Doctorow
Cory Doctorow’s 2017 novel Walkaway has a reputation in solarpunk circles as a great example of a solarpunk lifestyle, and a must-read book for everyone from the individual who lives and breathes solarpunk to the solarpunk-curious to general science fiction fans. But what is it about Walkaway that gives it solarpunk cred? Ariel and Christina ponder this, discussing features of the novel that could be considered solarpunk, and some that might be more post-cyberpunk than anything, and how some of the ideologies and technologies are or have been applied in our present world. Is the world of Walkaway an achievable solarpunk paradise, or a nice hopeful story featuring very cool gadgets and bites of lefty philosophy? Or something else entirely? What is the draw, here, anyway? Join us to think through some of the quandaries and ideas the book raises.

🎄⛪️Today Christians celebrate the birth of (someone who, if they paid attention, they'd note was) an #anarchist: https://sites.google.com/site/christoyannopoulos/publications/christian-anarchism-a-political-commentary-on-the-gospel #christmasnotjustforconsumerism #interestingdinnerconversations
Book weaves together threads of anarchist #exegesis of #Gospel to thereby present as strong & coherent a case why “#Christianity” translates (or should do) to “#anarchism”
Considers #SermonontheMount, but also plenty more NT passages including #DesertTemptations, #TempleCleansing, #arrest, #trial, #crucifixion & #resurrection
Also covers allegedly #violent NT passages, & of course #RenderUntoCaesar & #Romans13. Also lists plenty of examples of followers of #ChristianAnarchism
Writers covered include #Tolstoy, #Ellul, #Eller, #Elliott, #Andrews, #CatholicWorkers #Day, #Maurin & #Hennacy, & others including #Garrison, #Berdyaev & #Yoder
