'A Tale of Two Cities' by Charles Dickens

I read A Psalm for the Wild-Built and a Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers. They're very meditative and focused on the post-heroic meaning-making of a solarpunk society. I can't say they're good stories because I think they're only good insofar as you're ready for them in your own development.

A similar situation is with Vinland Saga. The first part is incredibly heroic whereas the second is post-heroic. Many people who weren't ready for the post-heroic are turned off by the change, but for those of us who are, the second part is incredibly beautiful precisely because of how different it is from the first part.

So point being, if you're ready for the post-heroic and you're interested in seeing a vision of a future that is positive in its comfortability and focus on the cultivation of meaning, then they can be worthy reads.

Nausicaä, the manga by Hayao Miyazaki. Splendid masterpiece, it is like Avatar but better

If you want to read some dark dystopian one, but also funny, full of insight with prophetic-vision and even more relevant for our situation than Orwells 1984 read C.S. Lewis "That Hideous Strength" centering around social-engineering and scientism.

Also on my reading-list is "Momo" from Michael Ende - a childs-book but also very interesting for every adult to read about our relationship to time. Our high-school professor gave us the option to either read Marx, Thomas Mann and Piketty or just this one and said they would be equally valuable for our course on the relationship between economics and time.
