I mean, let’s be honest: People do crimes even when they have no material need to do so, so you will always need some form of law enforcement, how should a solarpunk society handle this?
The same is true for a military: As long as there is no world peace or some magical way to shut the outside world out, and as long as other societies exist somewhere nearby (and in today’s world this means somewhere on the same planet), a society needs the means to defend itself… what would this look like?
AE Marling has written Missing Mermaid which is a detective story set in a Solarpunk city. (You don’t need to read the first book, which is also a detective story set in a Solarpunk city) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/221365244-missing-mermaid
Wait there’s a first book? I liked mermaid, have to check if there’s a predecessor
Yes, it’s called Murder at the Tool Library
Thx!
