@natecull There's a ton of amazing ideas in pulp as a genre, but so much of it is buried beneath layers of textural and conceptual rot. I want to see a New Pulp movement, where people return to the whimsical forms of superscience, mysticism, and unbridled optimism, without the festering colonialism and racism that made the original forms completely unreadable.
@natecull I'd like to think post-scarcity solarpunk and ecopunk captures a lot of the vision that the pulp movement had. Liberation from fossil fuels without having to abandon our entire technological base, new social movements based on equity and centering parts of the world that have been suppressed or ignored before. New relationship dynamics based on consent and desire instead of a legacy of property transfer.
