Ford&#8217;s Growing Up Weightless (1993) is a train trip by a group of teenaged roleplayers across the far side of the moon. It&#8217;s also the story of how thirteen year old Matt Ronay discovers what growing up means, and how his father Albin writes a symphony about water on the moon. It&#8217;s set four generations after Luna became independent&#8211;and that&#8217;s Lunna, not Loonam, and absolutely never call it &#8220;the Moon,&#8221; as if it were something Earth owned. This is a future with complex history that feels real. There&#8217;s a story going on in the background about water and sacrifice and power politics. In fact there&#8217;s a lot going on here&#8211;of course there is, it&#8217;s a John M. Ford novel&#8211;but most of all it&#8217;s about Matt Ronay and his roleplaying group making a trip from Copernicus to Tsiolkovsky Observatory on the train, two days there and two days back, without asking permission or telling their parents where they&#8217;re going. It&#8217;s wonderful.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/books\">books<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/review\">review<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/tor\">tor<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/sf\">sf<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trains on the moon: John M.
