A review by dennissd
New Moon by Ian McDonald

4.0

Warring mining families on the Moon. This is not my favorite Ian McDonald book, but it is still interesting and enjoyable. The ideas and the near-term future history are fascinating. This is a very good look at how an anarchist society might work in real life, with no laws or real government. The result seems to be a pretty depressing life on the Moon. There is a surprising amount of sex in this book, very little heteronormative and mostly well done. This is the first in a new series and after the powerful ending I am very interested in seeing where this story goes.
