Walk towards hope?

Picture: A woman stands on the roof of a tall building overlooking gardens, green houses wind turbines.  The image is in the solarpunk style.

After soaking in collapse literature and podcasts for a while, I find that the depression inherent in predictions is too strong.  When that happens, I read Walkaway by Cory Doctorow.  I followed that up with Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom.

It is interesting to see how Jacob Redwater is echoed in Keep-A-Moving Dan.  Before I read Walkaway, I saw the Bitchin Society as a utopia.

Back to collapse: What part of Walkaway exists now?  In my study of The Knowledge by Lewis Dartnell, I found baby incubators built from car parts[1] and Open Source Ecology[2].

Where could we look for free microbial beer, solar and wind to hydrogen cells, microbial food printers, and UN construction organization?

I'm looking for hope.  Does anyone know?
