SCIENCE fiction novel When the Moon Hits Your Eye by American author John Scalzi has hit the shelves.
The book follows diverse human reactions to a possibly apocalyptic event in which the moon transforms into cheese, with each day presented from the viewpoint of a different character.
“Obviously it’s a ridiculous concept, and obviously it’s something that can be played farcically. But for me, it was much more interesting to look at the whole perspective of how people would deal with it,” John said in an interview.
“Some people would treat it farcically, but for some people, it would just completely upend their entire world in a very serious way,” he added.
The author is best known for his ongoing Old Man’s War series. The namesake book, released in 2005, was nominated for the Hugo Award in 2006. Subsequently five more titles were published as part of the series and a new one is expected in September this year.
John also served as a creative consultant for the military science fiction TV series Stargate Universe.
