Solarpunk: Optimistic science fiction based on renewable energies. On the edge of Cascadia, great transformations rise above the horizon. We begin in the remains of one of the most beautiful places in the world; the Cascadian Wilderness, where blackberry vines cling to slopes and towering evergreen trees often burn. Human thought expands for good or ill.
In Sync Chrome City, (343 pages), Book One of the Solarpunk Transformation Trilogy, our psychic connection begins with the story of Geneva Teresa Weltraum, a heedless young woman raised by utopians and a college student at New West University. She's just trying to pass her finals until her roommate's collapse puts her in the orbit of a charismatic DJ, his cyberpunk friends, Psi-Aware protestors, and C.G. Burrows, a murderous refugee from the desolate 'Way.
