A collection of solarpunk stories, some not that good, some interesting. From the latter, I can list e.g. "In the storm, a fire" by Jay Springett and Andrew Dana Hudson, as well as "Under pressure" by Commando Jugendstil and Tales from the EV Studio, as well as "From the Rooftops" by Jacob Ashton. It's nice that it includes stories by authors outside the English-speaking countries (Botswana, Brazil, India, the Netherlands, Italy).

I read it together with "All Systems Red" (published as one book in Polish translation). This one was better, I think mostly because I liked the humour. Not saying that "Artificial Condition" was less serious, but there was much less humour in "All Systems Red". Kind of understandable, because I particularly liked the non-human characters (the Murderbot, the research transporter) and their interactions, while in "All Systems Red" throughout most of the story there was just one non-human character (the Murderbot).
