John Scalzi
New York Times bestseller John Scalzi flies you to the moon with his most fantastic tale to date: When the Moon Hits Your Eye
The moon has turned into cheese.
Now humanity has to deal with it.
For some it’s an opportunity. For others it’s a moment to question their faith: In God, in science, in everything. Still others try to keep the world running in the face of absurdity and uncertainty. And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.
Astronauts and billionaires, comedians and bank executives, professors and presidents, teenagers and terminal patients at the end of their lives -- over the length of an entire lunar cycle, each get their moment in the moonlight. To panic, to plan, to wonder and to pray, to laugh and to grieve. All in a kaleidoscopic novel that goes all the places you’d expect, and then to so many places you wouldn’t.
It’s a wild moonage daydream. Ride this rocket.

Yeah but what kind is it

Scalzi even notes in the acknowledgments that it’s not meant to be super scientific. Instead, it reads like a thought experiment ripped straight from Randall Munroe’s What If? series—except rather than laying out the perfect scientific explanation of what would happen, it explores the chaos and absurdity through the eyes of the people actually living in the middle of it all.
Interestingly, both Scalzi and Munroe use Wil Wheaton as their audiobook narrator, which adds a fun thread of connection between the two.
All in all, it’s part science fiction, part satire, and completely entertaining. I loved it and can’t recommend it enough.
