The Moon and the Other

A Washington Post Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Selection of 2017

â€œCharming, sexy.â€ â€”The Washington Post

John Kessel, one of the most visionary writers in the field, has created a rich matriarchal utopia, set in the near future on the moon, a society that is flawed by love and sex, and on the brink of a destructive civil war.

In the middle of the twenty-second century, over three million people live in underground cities below the moonâ€™s surface. One city-state, the Society of Cousins, is a matriarchy, where men are supported in any career choice, but no right to voteâ€”and tensions are beginning to flare as outside political intrigues increase.

After participating in a rebellion that caused his motherâ€™s death, Erno has been exiled from the Society of Cousins. Now, he is living in the Societyâ€™s rival colony, Persepolis, when he meets Amestris, the defiant daughter of the richest man on the moon.

Mira, a rebellious loner in the Society, creates graffiti videos that challenge the Societyâ€™s political domination. She is hopelessly in love with Carey, the exemplar of male privilege. An Olympic champion in low-gravity martial arts and known as the most popular bedmate in the Society, Careyâ€™s more suited to being a boyfriend than a parent, even as he tries to gain custody of his teenage son.

When the Organization of Lunar States sends a team to investigate the condition of men in the Society, Erno sees an opportunity to get rich, Amestris senses an opportunity to escape from her family, Mira has a chance for social change, and Carey can finally become independent of the matriarchy that considers him a perpetual adolescent. But when Society secrets are revealed, the first moon war erupts, and everyone must decide what is truly worth fighting for.
