ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein tells the story of a lunar colony in 2075 yearning for independence from the distant and often uncaring Earth Authority. The protagonist, Manuel Garcia O'Kelly, a computer technician, becomes involved in the burgeoning revolution, aided by a self-aware computer nicknamed Mike. As the colonists organize and plan their rebellion, they face the overwhelming power of Earth, forcing them to utilize unconventional strategies to fight for their freedom and determine the destiny of their harsh yet beloved home. The narrative explores themes of liberty, the complexities of self-governance, and the evolving relationship between humans and artificial intelligence.
