The Lunar Codex uses digital and analog technology to preserve art, books, music, and more, enclosed in time capsules and launched to the Moon. It is a message-in-a-bottle to the future.

Curatorial Notes

​

The core collection of novels and full-length books in the Lunar Codex is built around contributions from the authors of Writers of the Moon, a Lunar Codex sister project coordinated by Dr. Susan Kaye Quinn, that consisted of 125 authors pooling resources for an archival collection. 

The collection includes books from New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal, bestselling authors, as well as award-winners such as for the Amazon First Novel Award. 

 

Genres range from speculative fiction, to romance, to thrillers, to cozy mysteries, showcasing some of the best writing in traditional and independent circles.

 

* Every novel listed below is archived in the Codex. Each author thus has at least one book-length work represented in the Codex, and often several. 
 

Note that the collection shown below is not (yet) a complete listing of all the full-length books in the Lunar Codex.
