Glory Road Russ Allbery Reviews Starship Troopers The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein Publisher: Berkley Printing: September 1968 ISBN: Format: Mass market Pages: Depending on how one wants to divide his career, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress comes in the center of Heinlein's strongest period or near the end of the good "early" Heinlein (contrasted with the inconsistent at best "late" Heinlein). It was his last major critical and influential success (although some of his later novels were still popular successes). The most famous part of this book, its portrayal of a libertarian utopia that gave the SF community the term TANSTAAFL ("There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch"), is only a small part of it. Like most utopias, it doesn't hold up to serious scrutiny and is based primarily on cheating: setting up artificial, ideal conditions for a utopia and then showing how well the utopia would deal with those conditions. But the plot and the action deals primarily with the process of revolution rather than the results, and the utopian aspects can be shuffled under the carpet of suspension of disbelief. The plot, sadly, could be summarized as follows: a hyperintelligent computer learns the techniques of revolution and arranges a rebellion of the Moon penal colony, while the humans mill about, wax poetic on the merits of complex polygamous family structures, and generally act silly. It says a lot about Heinlein's competence as a writer that he manages to salvage an entertaining page-turner from this. By all rights, the book should have been either stultifyingly dull from the politics or pointless given that the computer ends up solving nearly all of the problems in the book. Heinlein mostly avoids both traps and manages a decent story, although I had to laugh when the computer started impersonating the main characters to get things done when they weren't in the right places at the right time.

25. The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress By Robert A Heinlein - An Infinity Plus Review A much more sophisticated text than most readers give it credit a thoughtexperiment as well as an adventure-narrative. http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfiction/moonisharsh.htm

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress: SF Masterworks VII by Robert A Heinlein 14.99, 382 pages, hardback; this edition published 25 October 2001; first published 1966. Another handsomely produced reissue in the Gollancz 'Masterworks' series brings this Heinlein title back into print in Britain (in the USA, Heinlein has never been out of print). Difficult to say why Heinlein's stock has dropped so severely in Britain in the last decade or two; when I was a lad bookshops were stuffed with his titles, and everybody grew up reading him. It may be that his libertarian right-wing ideological leanings worked eventually to alienate the more politically moderate brits; in which case the unapologetically ideological The Moon is a Harsh Mistress makes an especially interesting case. The Moon is a Harsh Mistress The story is in three parts. In the first, 'That Dinkum Thinkum' the narrator, a computer repairman with a bionic arm called Manuel Garcia O'Kelly, describes the society in which he lives: a lunar penal colony in which the population occupy tunnels underneath the moon's barren vacuum, farming wheat using lunar ice reserves. He also describes how he befriends the first computer to achieve self-awareness, the 'dinkum thinkum' of the title. The lunar population are oppressed by the Earth-oriented Lunar Authority, and become persuaded that they cannot keep exporting grain to Earth unless the water contained in that grain is replaced. Indeed, the self-aware computer (called Mike) calculates that starvation will follow for the lunar population in a matter of years.

34. The Space Review: “We Must Ride The Lightning”: Robert Heinlein And robert heinlein envisioned a future in 1945 where the atomic bomb made conventional warfare obsolete and thus required the development of rockets, http://www.thespacereview.com/article/901/1

Robert Heinlein envisioned a future in 1945 where the atomic bomb made conventional warfare obsolete and thus required the development of rockets, which could also be used for space exploration. (credit: The Heinlein Prize Trust) by Dwayne A. Day Monday, July 2, 2007 July 7 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Robert Anson Heinlein. In Kansas City the Heinlein Centennial will celebrate his writings and feature talks by the NASA administrator Michael Griffin as well as Heinlein scholars and enthusiasts. Heinlein is the closest thing that the American pro-space movement has to a patron saint. Science fiction has, for good or ill, had a major effect upon how Americans think about spaceflight. Many early rocket engineers were inspired by Jules Verne, many current space enthusiasts were inspired by Star Trek . Heinlein certainly inspired many in the entrepreneurial space movement. Revolt in 2100 Reason Despite this view, Heinlein also had a pragmatic core. He believed in a strong military and opposition to Soviet communism. In his nonfiction writings and his political activism he frequently advocated both. With these concepts in mind, it is worth looking at a rather amazing memo that Heinlein wrote in 1945 advocating a rigorous American missile and space program. Heinlein wrote it soon after the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Japan. He argued that the bomb had changed the world and he believed that intercontinental rockets would also have a major effect on warfare. He wanted the United States to get out in front of this new development like it had with the bomb.

PDF Edition Available! Order now and download immediately! The Robert Heinlein Interview and Other Heinleiniana J. Neil Schulman In 1973, Robert A. Heinlein was sixty-six, at the height of his literary career; J. Neil Schulman was twenty and hadn't yet started his first novel. Because he was looking for a way to meet his idol, Schulman wangled an assignment from the New York Daily News at the time the largest circulation newspaper in the U.S.to interview Heinlein for its Sunday Book Supplement. The resulting taped interview lasted three-and-a-half hours. This turned out to be the longest interview Heinlein ever granted, and the only one in which he talked freely and extensively about his personal philosophy and ideology. The Robert Heinlein Interview contains Heinlein you won't find anywhere elseeven in Heinlein's own Expanded Universe. If you want to know what Heinlein had to say about UFO's, life after death, epistemology, or libertarianism, this interview is the only source available. Also included in this collection are articles, reviews, and letters that J. Neil Schulman wrote about Heinlein, including the original article written for the Daily News , about which the Heinleins wrote Schulman that it was, "The best articlein style, content, and accuracyof the many, many written about him over the years."

skip to main skip to sidebar Steve Sailer's iSteve Blog [My published articles are archived at www.iSteve.com] Monday, July 2, 2007 Robert Heinlein week The science fiction master was born July 7, 1907. I read all his books up through 1966's The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress (his most literary novel) as a kid, then reread them when I was on chemotherapy in 1997, then reread them again early in this decade. - Sure, the future isn't what it used to be because transportation didn't keep getting faster and cheaper like it had since the invention of the steamship (although Heinlein's 1940 prediction that the 1960s-70s would be known to history as The Crazy Years was on the money.) But Heinlein's books really aren't about the future, they're about mid-20th century America , and that's a country I like a lot. In Heinlein's novels it's always late May 1942 as the shot-up Yorktown limps into the Pearl Harbor drydock while the Japanese fleet heads for Midway. - There will be a lot of arguments this week over what Heinlein's ideology was. The simple answer is that he was a creative writer, and you shouldn't look for a consistent ideology in his fiction. - Heinlein had had a lot of unsuccessful careers before he began writing at 32 in 1939, and he loved to explain how things work. He's comparable to James Michener, but with more interesting stories and snappier dialogue. (Heinlein's dialogue style was borrowed from the screwball comedies and film noirs of his time

Best Novel Hugo and Nebula Award Winner SFWRITER.COM How to Write "ON WRITING" by Robert J. Sawyer Heinlein's Rules There are countless rules for writing success, but the most famous ones, at least in the speculative-fiction field, are the five coined by the late, great Robert A. Heinlein. Heinlein used to say he had no qualms about giving away these rules, even though they explained how you could become his direct competitor, because he knew that almost no one would follow their advice. I'm going to share Heinlein's five rules with you, plus add a sixth of my own. Rule One: You Must Write It sounds ridiculously obvious, doesn't it? But it is a very difficult rule to apply. You can't just talk about wanting to be a writer. You can't simply take courses, or read up on the process of writing, or daydream about someday getting around to it. The only way to become a writer is to plant yourself in front of your keyboard and go to work.
