Nine provocative visions of the future: Name That Moon! is a collection of the best of Robert Onopa’s stories from The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction and Tomorrow.

A human fetus is brought to term in a kangaroo’s pouch. A failing resort on the moon sees its rescue in a marketing promotion that exploits the fact that the moon does not have a proper name. New laws make it possible for groups of disabled elderly, whose combined competencies constitute a normal human being, to petition to be recognized as a separate and distinct individual, to be known as a Geropod. And there’s more!

Robert Onopa’s science fiction novel, The Pleasure Tube, was hailed as “a breakthrough” by the Chicago Sun-Times and “an outstanding achievement” by Booklist. 

“Captivating stories, accomplished science fiction. Name That Moon!’s imaginary realms paradoxically illuminate the real world, and dystopia dances with humor, love, and zaniness. A terrific read!” 

— Lee Siegel, author of Love in a Dead Language

“Short stories told with sharp-tongued, Gonzo equipoise

   John Clute, The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction

Deliciously entertaining
