"How would you respond to a world-changing event that probably means the end of humanity as we know it? And what if that event were completely silly and absurd? That’s the premise of When the Moon Hits Your Eye. It’s the last of a loose trilogy of absurdist sci-fi books by John Scalzi. It imagines how humanity might respond to the moon suddenly being replaced by a massive chunk of “organic matrix,” aka cheese. This breezy beach read will keep you giggling as dozens of characters come to terms with the idea that the world may not end with a whimper or a bang, but rather in a layer of hot mozzarella."
