Abstract

In light of the typical time of reckoning and optimism brought about by the end and beginning of the year, this prefactory reflects upon the current state of pessimism of modern speculative fiction, and proposes a revival of former optimism towards technology and the future of humanity from previous speculative fiction eras, presenting recent aesthetic movements with the same intent: solarpunk and hopepunk.
