fast & furious & bicycles

We outlive capitalism. In our solarpunk future, San Francisco is neon green with sustainable abundance. Climate refugees build new communities in skyscrapers once cluttered with cubicles. But not everyone wants to live in the city of fog-kissed gardens.

A family of survivalists kept to themselves, within rewilded lands. It’s a hard and isolated life, and one of their sons chooses to run away. In San Francisco, he finds new friends, even falls in love with a competitive bicyclist. She introduces him to a club of speed demons, who trick out e-bikes to race up the city’s legendary hills and careen down again even faster.

When armored trucks roll in bristling with rifles, the survivalists expect to kidnap their son amidst a confusion of explosions and a hellfire of bullets. They don’t reckon on the recklessness of his new chosen family. The bicycle gang will go to any length to protect him and at any electrified speed.

Does feel like this is a step in the right direction. The wealthy have way too much power, and philanthropy is a part of that. Making nonprofits beholden to the rich is sinister.

    “Our philosophy is that if you can’t open it, you don’t own it. Once you disassemble, repair, and put back together your laptop or iPod, you have a much better understanding of what goes into it. It’s astounding how just 20 minutes of work can make an iPod good as new – but most people have no idea that there are instructions available to make the work easy. And why should they? Apple tells everyone that the battery isn’t user-serviceable.“
