The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress
Further reading
- A Door into Ocean by Joan M. Slonczewski (1986) was written in part with The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress in mind. Slonczewski notes:
- "Another less obvious influence was that of Robert Heinlein's The Moon is a Harch Mistress. This book impressed me for its sense of humor in depicting the lunar community throwing off their colonial masters. In fact, actual totalitarian societies such as the former Soviet Union have always fostered considerable amounts of humor as a coping mechanism and as a subtle (or not so subtle) means of subversion. Unlike some other Cold War-influences writers, I have always tried to follow Heinlein's example in showing the humorous aspects of political struggle."[1]
