I am practicing writing short Solarpunk stories and I am figuring out how to show rather than tell a bit more and practice world building. Hope you enjoy the story so far. The story is called Jadesola Without Representational Politics.
It had been 0.42 Jovian years since they abolished representational politics. Jadesola was nearly 100 Mercurial years at the time and was concerned about what it meant for their future, for everyone's future. It had been the prevailing organizing tool for hundreds of years and was largely unchecked, never questioned by the media and seemed like the natural order of organizing. Until it wasn't. Following the mass looting and disabling event that was the COVID-19 pandemic the "zoom babies" began reimagining a world where that wasn't allowed to happen ever again. Decisions were made under a Scorpio sky. Following a consultation with The Historian where the system was asked to reimagine societies where a pandemic wouldn't be weaponised by the resource hoarders against assetless people, every simulation resulted in the abolishment of representational politics and redirected the power back the people.
