mediaphage posted:the lights are probably already in reflectors. we see the same thing in ontario with legal cannabis grow operations (although its standard warm white light). it would likely cost more in materials and labour (because you'd want to completely remove obstructions between the plants and sunlight during the day) than you'd ever get back in savings on fewer lights / less power. You rotate strips of material reflective on both sides above the lights. Removal is unnecessary. You'd not get it back on power with the way power's subsidized but it would make them less lovely for the neighbors and wildlife.

you could also argue that roadside picnic is a sort of cyberpunk since it's got the rich/poor dichotomy in a world changed by advanced technology, and it takes place in northern canada

Removal is unnecessary. i understand how venetian blinds work, but there is a non-zero light blocking effect they have even when tilted fully open that these people are not going to want to undertake. instead, you would need to encase the entire structure in a covering of some kind (likely automated blankets or similar fabric) in order to prevent that kind of glow: most of these operations are in completely or mostly transparent buildings.

If both sides are decently reflective and the strips are wide enough, the amount of light lost is minimal.

I guess converting a sleeping bag into a hobo vest counts as cyberpunk.

I can't remember much of anything specific about the story or characters, just that it peaked in book 2, book 3 was bad and book 4 was just the worst. at the time I had a 90 minute each way commute so I was buying books for length mcdonald also wrote chaga/evolution's shore [stupid us-specific naming] which is literally the idea of the southern reach books written decades earlier and takes place in africa
