I hope you had a great World Book Day yesterday. Here at The Slab Press, we're having our Vivid Worlds Book Day today instead, because I get to announce the writers and stories that will be featuring in our upcoming solarpunk anthology - plus reveal the cover designed by Northampton artist Paul Alex Condie. It is still quite an auspicious day to announce the ToC, because March 7th is, very aptly the start of the 5th World Conference on Climate Change and Global Warming in Vienna, which is just the sort of event where they will be discussing the very sorts of ideas and innovations that the solar punk genre concerns itself with.

Isn't this a spectacular book cover?
