I just read @sarenaulibarri 's Another Life. I really enjoyed it. Like the best solarpunk stories, it focuses on a close-knit, supportive community, one that is complex and subtly flawed, but deeply hopeful and inspiring.

When the story begins, the community is well formed, with a compelling origin story that shapes its culture and social structure. It has a form of communalism that is pretty well thought through, both in the internal distribution of resources and effort, and in the community's external relations. But the community isn't finished evolving, as real living ones never are.

Dear friends, I hope you will never find yourselves in a situation in which you need to defend your professional standards (and professions) against AI (which is both “ineffective and detrimental”), while being dismissed as luddites by your colleagues and managers.

But if that happens to you, you too might find the research, ideas and arguments of allies like @emilymbender and @alex empowering.
