Reading: What If the Moon Were Cheese? John Scalzi’s Latest Book Has the Answer
John Scalzi’s latest science-fiction novel opens with a premise as absurd as it is universal: what if the moon suddenly turned into cheese? Rather than treating it as a throwaway joke, Scalzi builds a world where scientists, politicians, journalists, and everyday people must navigate the implications—both physical and emotional. The book leans into real planetary science, cultural reactions, and even misinformation, showing how society might struggle to explain the inexplicable. It’s fiction, yes, but also a reminder of how science responds when reality refuses to behave. Sarah Lewin Frasier with Scientific American has the interview with the author. Main Street Books can deliver the fully savory experience if you’re looking to read longer 😉
