Replying to Avatar hodlbod

Decided to read some Solarpunk fiction, and it's the most communist thing I've ever read. Not sure if it's all that way, or just the anthology I happened to pick. The first story is like "I (xeh/xer) used AR gadgetry to hack a smart building made by CAPITALISTS to lock them out and used it to house homeless queer youth instead."

The show on Netflix was quite good. I actually interpreted it as a criticism on communism, as the repression caused a protagonist to act against her own species’ interest out of spite

I had a hard time with the books because of all the Chinese names bro I often forgot who was who

Happens to me all the time :) the names are truly hard to distinguish for a westerner, especially since one has no idea whether it's male or female.

At least the german translation of the three body problem is quiet critically to the communist regime. I was quiet impressed, when some chinese tourists in the train told me the author is still living in china.

And first and for most, it is a science novel, that includes a lot of science and explains it beautiful.
