Summary/Abstract: The night the moon split, Cem was returning home in his air-mobile. At first, he couldn’t believe his eyes. He verbally commanded the program that controlled the air-mobile to stop. He turned off his smart lens and looked out the window of his vehicle once again. No, this was not an advertisement for augmented reality. The dead moon, which had stayed in its orbit around the Earth for billions of years, had split in two like a cracking egg. A few seconds later, a giant, blood-red screen emerged out of the space between the two halves of the moon.
