A review by cjvphd
The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein

5.0

The pinnacle of science fiction. In this retelling of the American Revolution, Heinlein challenges your understanding of what it means to be alive and free in a masterful story about ideology, family, truths and lies, crimes and punishment, risks and rewards. An uncannily prescient novel despite being written 55 years ago because the core themes were equally as important in 1776 and 1966 as they are today (2021) and the novel's big questions remain unanswered. Written at the peak of RAH's considerable powers, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is not to be missed.
