Instead of a dystopian future or a romanticized past, Greenpunk quite often takes place in a technologically conscious now.

Zeppelins often drift through the skies covered with solar panels driving electric motors.  Mobile phones and PDAs powered by their wearer's kinetic energy connect a wired world.  Cities powered by gravity and wind fight to survive the ravages of the past, while petrocriminals and ecocops wage a war for the planet's future.

Greenpunk is the sub-genre where the wild imaginings of today become the reality of tomorrow. But this isn't Hippie tree-hugging.  Greenpunk definitely has an edge of the fantastic.
