1. The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by
Robert A. Heinlein
Stellar (Or Rather Lunar) Work!
Tom Clancy has said of Robert A. Heinlein, We proceed down the path
marked by his ideas. He shows us where the future is. Nowhere is this
more true than in Heinleins gripping tale of revolution on the moon in
2076, where Loonies are kept poor and oppressed by an Earth-based
Authority that turns huge profits at their expense. A small band of
dissidents, including a one-armed computer jock, a radical young woman,
a past-his-prime academic and a nearly omnipotent computer named
Mike, ignite the fires of revolution despite the near certainty of failure and
death.

I dont know that I have anything new to say in praise of this novel. So
instead, I will say, I would never have imagined myself so heartsick over
the loss of a computer until now. Goodbye, dear Mike. I shall miss you,
too.
Heinlein is able to explore a world of politics, revolution, love, family, and
dedication in an intricate and enjoyable way. Life is complex, and so is his
story, weaving multiple aspects of what it means to be a sentient creature
into the tale. From humor to love, the good parts of life must be explored
fully. From rebellion to war, fighting for you and yours, the sticky parts
must be waded through.
His ideas about never allowing yourself to get trampled by the standard
way of life was refreshing, and I wish that more politicians could embrace
this philosophy.
