Synopsis
Robert A. Heinlein was the most influential science fiction writer of his era, an influence so large that, as Samuel R. Delany notes, "modern critics attempting to wrestle with that influence find themselves dealing with an object rather like the sky or an ocean." He won the Hugo Award for best novel four times, a record that still stands. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress was the last of these Hugo-winning novels, and it is widely considered his finest work. It is a tale of revolution, of the rebellion of the former Lunar penal colony against the Lunar Authority that controls it from Earth. It is the tale of the disparate people--a computer technician, a vigorous young female agitator, and an elderly academic--who become the rebel movement's leaders. And it is the story of Mike, the supercomputer whose sentience is known only to this inner circle, and who for reasons of his own is committed to the revolution's ultimate success. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is one of the high points of modern science fiction, a novel bursting with politics, humanity, passion, innovative technical speculation, and a firm belief in the pursuit of human freedom. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is the winner of the 1967 Hugo Award for Best Novel.

    My book arrived in absolutely amazing condition and was well protected in the packaging, exactly as described! The price was also fair, my only complaint is it did take a while to get delivered but overall I'm very satisfied. I'll definitely be doing business again with this seller and I highly recommend!

    The item was in great condition as described and a great value. However, the seller communication is non existent. I ordered 2 books from this seller. They were listed as shipped under the same tracking information when they were separate. I had to be an amateur detective dealing with USPS, the apartment office where packages are delivered, and the parcel locker folks from Amazon. I reached out to the seller to no response. The next day, my 2nd item showed. Disappointing customer service.

    The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

    This is one of the best SyFy books ever written. I read this book 30 years ago. It was nice to reread it.

  • Great science fiction for all ages

    Read it decades ago and was thinking of recommending it to next generation family members. Wanted to read again for sexism, racism, whatever before passing it along to younger crowd. Hold up really well.

  • Book Worth Reading

    Heard about this book from The Corbett Report and thought I should read it. It's definitely timely as there is a lot of talk about artificial intelligence these days.

  • It stresses the hard life of the moon colonists as they form their own government

    The book causes one to think about the function and nature of government.
