The two robot and monk books by Becky Chambers are great and set in an anarchist/solarpunk utopia, though they are more short novels than short stories.

Bought it in french cuz im a frog. Ok thats a good start, me thinks.
I'm currently reading the Hydrogen Sonata as well - as sadly his last book.
They were all pretty great and worth a read.
It's a real pity he died too early...
Ok: https://www.amazon.fr/Hydrogen-Sonata-Culture-Novel-ebook/dp/B008K5T5AI
The problem: its a long novel (600 pages). My blog is about short stories, with sometimes short novellas, but not a 600 pages book.
But thanks anyway! It looks awesome & i might read it just for me & not SFSS.
All the books in the series are great
Just like the linked article says, the ends are sometimes a bit lackluster
But I couldn't stop.
Have read through all the books (ok, in the last 9th now) in like 3 months
Edit: fucking auto correct...
Lol ok.
Thank you! Ill check that tonight!
Start with the first book in the series though
"Consider Phlebas"
Ok, thx.
