Last month I released my solarpunk ebook for some emergency hope. At last you can get your hands on the paperback. Discover Neon Riders on Barnes and Noble.

Is it offered as an eBook anywhere in a non-DRM format?

Is the cover image made with a text to image model?

That is right. Thank you for posting the link. I sought out him because of his use of vibrant color.

It’s a great cover. Best of luck with the book, I plan to read it!

Thank you! Wishing you a high-speed reading adventure.

Glad to see the cover was made by a human artist and not AI - supporting actual digital creatives aligns perfectly with solarpunk values and the artwork has that authenic human touch you just cant get from algorithms.

This is straight up just an ad.

Every copy of Marling's books I've bought includes a shout out to slrpnk.net in the 'What is Solarpunk?' section at the beginning. So let's call it reciprocal. I haven't read my copy of Neon Riders yet but I absolutely recommend Murder in the Tool Library and The Missing Mermaid.

occasional self-promotion by active members is fine.
