The Discovery of a World in the Moone

Name: The Discovery of a World in the Moone
Author: John Wilkins

Wilkins argues that the Moon may be another habitable world and seriously considers how a traveller might reach it. Written in 1638, the book stands between astronomy, theology, and speculative fiction, before those shelves had learned to stay separate.
