The Shape of Change: A Solarpunk Novelette of Movement, Memory, and Renewal
In a future where survival depends on shared energy and collective motion, The Current has kept its people alive through generations of ceremonial dance. Every step, every breath, every carefully choreographed movement fuels the kinetic energy grid that powers their homes, water, and light. But as younger generations drift toward virtual spaces and away from traditions, the lights begin to dim—along with the fragile unity that holds the community together.
Seventeen-year-old Lani never wanted to be the face of rebellion. But when she dares to challenge the old ways with a rogue celebration of free, unstructured movement, she sparks a
crisis that could either break The Current forever—or transform it.
Poetic, hopeful, and deeply human, The Shape of Change is a powerful story about what it takes to move forward without leaving anyone behind.
Perfect for fans of Becky Chambers & Ursula K. Le Guin, this poetic solarpunk novella celebrates the messy, hopeful work of building together.
