Megan E. O’Keefe’s Velocity Weapon is an excellent entry into the annals of modern science fiction, tackling many of the major through-notes at the core of the genre since science fiction became a genre all its own. It raises all of the best questions of science fiction, and does so in a thoughtful manner that provides answers as much as it provokes questions. Around these, O’Keefe builds a devastating, astonishing, and ultimately hopeful story that is ripe for a lively and lengthy discussion.
