Deme

Me but every time I think I see a nice cloud.

This. The meme is inaccurate in that the polar vortex is in fact currently unusually strong. It’s just unusually shaped and oddly elongated. I hope the two following images show up correctly.

Half-Earth perhaps, but I didn’t see much actual solarpunk. The only society we see seems to prefer automated and sterile mass agriculture as well as consumer capitalism (the protagonist is a product). I suppose the attempt to rebel against this given purpose could count as punk, but is it solarpunk? The story has very little to say about society.

Visually it was beautiful, but the pacing felt a bit too fast for my adult brain.

Ai generated imagery.
