	The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is a 1966 science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein about a lunar penal colony's revolt against rule from Earth.
		The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is similar to Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) in that both describe social upheavals, and both contain a strong streak of irony.
		In The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, the irony is that although the lunar colony is, at the beginning of the story, theoretically a kind of prison ruled by a tyrannical Warden, in reality the Warden seldom interferes in lunar society, which is portrayed as a kind of libertarian utopia.

	The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A Heinlein - an infinity plus review
		It is perfectly possible to read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress as Libertarian utopia: much of the book is taken up first with descriptions of the individualistic family-based social anarchy of Heinlein's lunar community, and then (when the Revolution is underway) with lengthy discussions between characters as to how 'government' ought to manage itself.
		The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a thought-experiment as well as an adventure-narrative, a fictional space in which political issues are interrogated.
		The Moon is a Harsh Mistress works much better as a primer of how a small nation of farmers can militarily defeat a large nation of technocrats than it does as a book about Libertarian ideology.

		Written at the peak of Robert A. Heinlein's creative powers in the mid-sixties, "The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress" ranks with "Stranger in a Strange Land" as his most popular and acclaimed novel.
		Also, because of their adaptation to the Moon's lower gravity, they cannot safely return to live on Earth, so their exile is a permanent one.
		The story presents a logical and somewhat predictable pathway for "the liberation of the moon" yet I was in suspense as to the success or failure of the venture until the final pages.

		But you find out later that the narrator is a Loonie (born and raised on the Moon, referred to as "Luna") and that the numerous fragment sentences are nothing more than Loonie dialect.
		In The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, the Loonies are unhappy with the poor treatment they are receiving from Earth.
		Perhaps one of the strangest books I've read, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is also one of most original and intelligent.

		The "monster" as she calls it, "had to be destroyed." In the decades before TMiaHM was written, thousands of children were born physically damaged as a result of the too-early certification of thalidimide.
		All we're told in TMiaHM is it became popular to engage in derision further undermining Authority (vicious humor and counterfeiting of passports), and occasional murders of isolated F.N. occupation troops occurred.
		TMiaHM was written in the mid-1960's, pretty close to the historical high water-mark for socialist economics.

		"The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" contains libertarian, or anarchist, philosophy, but one purpose of science fiction is to present challenging ideas.
		Whether or not you agree with the Loonies' political philosophy, or are offended by some of their social structures (such as their forms of marriage) I defy anyone not to sympathize with their quest for freedom.

		In warrens under the surface of the moon generations of men and women no longer wanted on earth for a variety of reasons have made their lives.
		Naturally, since the inmates/inhabitants of the moon are not free, they do not enjoy an equal footing in trade or rights to their counterparts on earth.
		A bunch of disenfranchised farmers and some burly reverse-snobbery trade union workers from the twenty-first century just didn't engage any differentiation on my part as to how they lived out their eternity, be it with a fair price for their wheat or without one.

		The Moon is a Harsh Mistress § A Modest Construct
		TMIAHM is possibly Heinlein’s best book; it at least ranks up there with Stranger in a Strange Land, Starship Troopers, and Time Enough for Love.
		Perhaps the main reason for this is that it is not just an adventure novel: the political and social scene that he sets is very much integral to the plot, and provides a great alternate look at how such things could be done, instead of what the American scene is now.

	The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
		We'll be lucky if in thirty years we have some straggly excuse for a moon base, not a colony, much less a city.
		The North Americans are the shrillest and most arrogant of all the "earthworms"-- vindictive, hypocritical, full of race prejudice, and so stupid that they traipse to the targets of Luna's rock bombardments to gawk.
		And in Moon he's writing at the top of his powers-- he tosses off ideas like scrap paper, giving us marathons of political controversy without once losing our interest, or skimping on family details, satire, adventure, and humor.

		He said he druther see the new moon over his left shoulder as much as a thousand times than take up a snake-skin in his hand.
		Well, I was getting to feel that way myself, though I've always reckoned that looking at the new moon over your left shoulder is one of the carelessest and foolishest things a body can do.

		In my case "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" was the first to change my worldview forever.
		The story is of a one-armed computer tech, a lovely provocateur, an absent-minded professor and a sentient computer that is starved for attention.

		I came into my reading of Robert Heinlein's novel, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, with rather high expectations.
		Heinlein has done a masterful job of showing us how a revolution such as he describes might actually take place, and on this level I think the book is thoroughly believable and works very well.
		His technical descriptions of life on the moon and the AI known as Mike show that Heinlein knows his stuff as far as science and, to a certain extent, sociology are concerned.

	THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS
		Specialty Definition: The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress
		But Heinlein does not predict that racial harmony will be universally true in the future; the reader doesn't realize how thoroughly integrated the moon is until Manny, on a diplomatic mission to the United States, is arrested for miscegenation after he innocently shows a picture of his extended family to his Southern hosts.
		Some insight into Heinlein's character is gained by recalling that the novel was published in 1966, during a time of significant turmoil over race relations and the future of race relations in the United States.

		Fred observes that the success of any space program is directly proportional to public acceptance which is manifested by the apparent looseness or tightness of federal purse strings.
		Short of death, that is. (Can you tell I'm a mom?) And I doubt the ACLU or any other leftist group would find much of a problem with planetary exile so long as there were no further restriction of civil rights once offworld.
		Then again, the moon and Mars could be explored primarily as sites for alternative societies.

	"The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" By SelDear
		They watched the slow darkening of the moon, seeing the silver face blush slowly pink as the penumbra of the earth interfered with the sunlight shining on the barren surface of the planetary satellite.
		Sam snorted with soft laughter and turned back to the view of the moon, watching the blush turn a deep reddish hue as umbra became penumbra.
		But the moon was a harsh mistress, giving her devotees no room to relent.
