The Moon is a Harsh Mistress

I took my time reading this book. I think I got distracted from it about halfway through, but I finally found the time to complete it and was not disappointed. Not only is it interesting from a political and philosophical standpoint, it’s something that seems right around Humanity’s corner. The struggles of communities living within the domains of larger societies that don’t treat them with equal rights. What started as a prison planet can’t stay that way when generations of people have made it their home. Sharing gravity wells but refusing to share fairly. Ultimately it comes down to force, who can sustain the force longest, and the intelligence required to direct that force. Even though Mike was never a flesh-and-blood character that we are so used to relating to, I felt a connection to him consistently throughout the story, and it has persisted through the end.
