Optimistic Fiction

Stories that imagine systems built on care, not extraction

Welcome. These stories aren't entertainment—they're thought experiments. Tools for people working on systemic change. Each explores what becomes possible when we organize society around human flourishing instead of profit extraction.

Aligned with Resource Based Economy (RBE) and One Small Town (OST) philosophies, these narratives show contributionism, post-scarcity economics, and community-led transformation in action.
