She sent in this delightful piece about a young woman getting separated from her nomadic city during a storm. It was a joy for me to edit this story, and now everyone can read it!

It's not exactly 1-1 to the present day, conceptually: at the time, the deal was that you'd own the bare plot of land and for that price Sears would send the necessary materials _and the work crew to build_ your selected house on that site.

Le Guin wasn't a big fan of awards--but reading? Heck yes. Hope there's something in here for you. @StrangeHorizons #SFF #Books #Recommendations #BookReviews

"The Launch," by Brooke Jarvis in California Sunday, photos by Aysia Stieb

Brooke Jarvis is such a finely tuned writer, and she works a whole education on modern apple breeding and cultivation (and marketing!) into this one, but you should read it for its pure charm. (I like this piece so much that I re-read it a few times a year.)

PS: More on the fate of the Cosmic Crisp later this month.

"We desperately need narratives that move past apocalypse as an endpoint, not only because there are people and societies already living in the Western world’s vision of climate apocalypse on a daily basis, but because looking at the climate crisis as an apocalypse can only inspire a helpless waiting for the post-apocalypse to arrive, suddenly, to cleave the past from the future."
