Interview with Ada Palmer: History of ideas and our climate imaginations

For this year's edition the Warsaw sci-fi/fantasy convention Bazyliszek invited a special guest: a historian and a science fiction author Ada Palmer [Homepage]. Despite a long day taking parts in other panels, she agreed to give me an interview about her specialty: the history of ideas - and how it relates to our struggles with climate imagination and Solarpunk.

You can listen to it as a special episode of Solarpunk Promts, also on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!

Professor Palmer touches a lot of topics, including the ideas of purity, millenarianism, the (misconceptions about the) fall of Rome, the Daybreak game and Astro Boy. More sources in the podcast description!
