Hey solarpunks!

I’m Clockwork, an Italian solarpunk physicist, juggler and writer. I would like share my website with you; I’ve set it up two years ago with zero html knowledge and I have given it a new revamp recently. Since I write in English but the publishing system is extremely walled, I want to make myself known among likeminded people without selling my soul.

I write mostly solarpunk (you can check out the short story page and the Meteorina “saga” (three long stories, with a fourth one coming soon), but you can also find some Neolithic fantasy and scifi with community and resistance themes. All stories are FREE TO DOWNLOAD; there are no Amazon links and most files are interoperable and freely accessible. There is a donation button but I’d rather you enjoy these stories in a non-transactional way.

I hope you will find them interesting and possibly get inspired!

EDIT: I’m an idiot, here’s the link! Thank you for pointing it out 😅

    Where have you been hiding! I just checked out one of your solarpunk short stories (Martedì // Tuesday, thank you for writing and translating). I loved how much dialogue there was. I don’t usually think of more “technical” minded people (like physicists) as being so focused on characters (we often focus on technology or systems), but that shows my prejudice I guess!

    Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next. :)

      That’s so flattering, thank you! 🥹

      Your prejudice was half-right actually: tech and systems are what I really want to explore, but I use shorter stories as “experiment” to practice other aspect of storytelling too. After all, characters are the most powerful illusion spell on the reader!

      What’s going to be next:

      • More Meteorina adventures (surely one on Elba, maybe one on Albanian shores considering the shitshow going on with the Italian govt nowadays? Some good old satire, why not)
      • Kanteletar, the stories of a public digital library founded in 2067 across four centuries of climate, geopolitical and cultural upheavals
