Hey all!
I don’t think it’s any secret that the world has felt more than a little hostile lately, and while I don’t want to bury my head in the sand, I could use some hopeful, optimistic, and otherwise lighthearted fiction in my life to offset…gestures broadly
It doesn’t have to be solely “nothing bad happens” or anything, but I’m not really looking for something like Interstellar, where it’s optimistic solely because they find a solution to their apocalyptic problems. I’d just love to immerse myself in a vision of the future where things are already okay, actually, and have some fun with exploring what that world might look like. It doesn’t have to be for kids, but if you’ve ever seen the old Disney Channel Zenon movies, that kind of “normal life but in a good future” vibe is what I have in mind. It could be YA, though, doesn’t have to be adult fiction.
I’ve read a bunch of Star Wars books, and while I do enjoy them (and some fit this vibe quite well), I’m looking for something a little more “the bright future of our own universe,” not “a fantastical, made up universe different than ours.” If that makes sense?
Any suggestions would be appreciated! I just need some positivity in my life lately.
