The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (1966) is one of Robert A. Heinlein’s most famous novels. Narrating a lunar colony’s revolt against Earth’s rule in 2075, it’s a credible – even though frightening – portrait of a (dystopian) future human society in space. Politically engaged, stylistically inimitable and often ironic, it’s Heinlein at his best. Nominated for the Nebula Award in 1966 and Hugo Award 1967 for best science fiction novel.
