ReviewsPraise for The Moon is a Harsh Mistress "A significant book in the history of the genre."--Tor.com "Offers a lot of food for thought and fodder for argument...indisputably rich with ideas."--io9 "What separates Heinlein's writing from that of his peers: his ability to show us the inescapable humanity of technologically advanced futures."--BooksTellYouWhy.com Praise for Robert A. Heinlein and His Novels "We proceed down the path marked by his ideas. He shows us where the future is."--Tom Clancy "One of the grand masters of science fiction."-- The Wall Street Journal "A brilliant mind-bender...Wonderfully humanizing."--Kurt Vonnegut "Certainly among the most influential...science fiction novel[s] of all time."-- The Guardian "This book was destined to become a bestseller, shaping the sensibilities of a generation."-- The Boston Globe "The word that comes to mind for him is essential. As a writer--eloquent, impassioned, technically innovating--he reshaped science fiction in a way that defined it for every writer who followed him...He was the most significant science fiction writer since H.G. Wells."--Robert Silverberg "Heinlein's genius is at its height in this timeless classic that is meaningful today as when it was written...a fast paced novel that never gets preachy. This is a definite must have, must read book."--SF Site

SynopsisFor fans of Artemis --the visionary tour de force from "one of the grand masters of science fiction" ( The Wall Street Journal ). Widely acknowledged as one of Robert A. Heinlein's greatest works, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress rose from the golden age of science fiction to become an undisputed classic--and a touchstone for the philosophy of personal responsibility and political freedom. A revolution on a lunar penal colony--aided by a self-aware supercomputer--provides the framework for a story of a diverse group of men and women grappling with the ever-changing definitions of humanity, technology, and free will--themes that resonate just as strongly today as they did when the novel was first published. The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress gives readers an extraordinary, thought-provoking glimpse into the mind of Robert A. Heinlein, who, even now, "shows us where the future is" (Tom Clancy).
