For 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…

In what is considered one of Heinlein’s most hair-raising, thought-provoking, and outrageous adventures, the master of modern science fiction tells the strange story of an even stranger world. It is 21st-century Luna, a harsh penal colony where a revolt is plotted between a bashful computer and a ragtag collection of maverick humans, a revolt that goes beautifully until the inevitable happens. But that’s the problem with the inevitable: it always happens.

Winner of the 1967 Hugo award, this novel marked Heinlein’s partial return to his best form. He draws many historical parallels with the War of Independence, and clearly shows his own libertarian political views.
