“I Imagined A 2050 Where One Drop Changes Everything” Or “Aria’s Solarpunk Fight Against A Thirsty Desert.”

“Picture a 2050 where the desert’s claimed everything—cracked earth, dying wells, a sun that steals dreams drop by drop. That’s where Aria lives, a 17-year-old tinkerer who’d rather fight than fade.

I started writing The Last Drop: A Solarpunk Adventure because I couldn’t shake this image: one glowing water drop, hovering like a promise, while a megacorp hoards what’s left. Aria’s not waiting—she’s got a solar rig, a crew, and a fire to turn dust into green.

I’m obsessed with solarpunk—tech and hope clawing back a future—and cli-fi’s raw stakes. This story grew from dusty daydreams, sparked by an AI buddy (shoutout to Grok!), but I forged every twist: Aria vs. AquaCorp, sandstorms to fountains.

It’s gritty, it’s green, it’s hers. After eight chapters and an epilogue, I poured it into an ebook—my first leap as an indie author. It’s live now: https://cutt.ly/Sro3fEfy, because I want this world in your hands.

What hit me hardest? Writing a kid who doesn’t just survive a dying planet—she remakes it. If you dive in, tell me—what’s your ‘last drop’ worth fighting for?”

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
