At the recommendation of many, many friends, I started reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl book series this month.
I didn’t realize it was a series when I started, and am pleasantly surprised that there’s at least 8 books in the series.
It is not the idyllic solarpunk I’ve been craving lately. It is distinctly, unmistakably dystopian. It’s set in a literal apocalypse.
If Solarpunk feels like a vision of what could be, Dungeon Crawler Carl feels like a playbook for how to survive right now so we can make it to that future.
