The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress
by Robert A. Heinlein (also rec’d by Elon Musk )
Buy on AmazonThis account of a revolutionary struggle between lunar colonists – many of whom came there (or their parents did) as exiles and prisoners – and the exploitative government agency that controls their lives is, like Foundation , a working out of historical forces. But Heinlein sticks with a cast of a few main characters and, with a charmingly colloquial writing style, makes us care about them all.
