Seen through the eyes of a six year old child, this book correlates the naivety of a child’s emotions with the sophistication of the cameras used by NASA for their kamikaze lunar space probe Ranger IX. It recreates  her excitement followed by  horror of the eventual impact. The book, THE END is subsequently in three parts, the child’s description, the technical details of the cameras and the final descent onto the lunar surface.


AMBruno's new book project for 2025, Finale, was launched during AMBruno's Finale at Tate Britain in the Library and Archive Reading Rooms on Friday 26th September 2025, 1.30-5pm.
