"...Ever stare up at the night sky and wonder what it would be like to live on the Moon? You know, just hopping around and seeing Earth when you crane your head back instead of a glowing white circle. It's been a cool minute since we first landed up there, and it kind of seems like we should be living, working, and vacationing in lunar locations by this point. Or so Robert A. Heinlein seemed to be thinking when he published "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" in 1966.
Though released in the swinging sixties, the story is set in 2075. It follows Mannie, a Luna computer technician, and Mike, Luna's supercomputer who gains self-awareness. To promote Mike's study of humanity, Mannie attends a Sons of Revolution meeting and accidentally becomes entangled in an insurrection when the Lunar Authority crashes the party to arrest the revolutionaries. Oops.
Mannie soon learns that Luna will exhaust its resources in seven years under the existing system, resorting to cannibalism shortly thereafter. Not down with that, he teams up with Mike and rebels Wyoming Knotts and Professor Paz to plan a revolution that will turn Luna into a free state. And the rest, as they say, is future history."
