"Oh my God! Look at that picture over there! There's the Earth coming up. Wow, is that pretty."
-William Anders, December 24th, 1968, Moon
Astronaut William Anders took a photograph after remarking on the beauty of Earth from the moon. Called "Earthrise," it introduced us to our home, to the vastness of humanity's planet.
Ab Terra 2020 is a short story anthology that seeks to recreate the feeling of the moment when we first laid eyes on our world through stories of science fiction belonging to all, from Earth. Twelve stories from both emerging and recognized science fiction authors offer diverse cultural perspectives and provide readers with journeys that in one way or another are "from Earth," even if home is far, far away.
