Something I'm In
The Apollo moon landings turned out to be the beginning of the end of the first space race, not the end of the beginning, and for a while, they were also an end to stories set on the Moon. But after a couple of decades absent actual science, science fiction began to reclaim our sister world, and this anthology, edited by Neil Clarke and published a week before the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing, collects a nice variety of those post-Apollo lunar stories.
