Robert A. Heinlein, The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress (1966)
Robert A. Heinlein, often called the dean of science fiction writers, wrote The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress as his vision of a libertarian lunar colony. The novel was awarded a Hugo award in 1967, the fourth of his Hugo awards. The most memorable character is a supercomputer named Mike, who has a distinct personality and is referred to in the book as "our man John Galt," a direct reference to the main character in Ayn Rand's 1957 Atlas Shrugged, another novel that extols the virtues of libertarianism. |
