I see anarchist point of views in steampunk and cyberpunk. So I expect the same solarpunk. But haven't read the first novel yet neither.

If a novel appears with traditional leftist/communist approach it would be very cringe. A lot of steampunk stories are about evil oligarchs vs adventurous heroes, without the need of falling in commie fallacies.
