{"product_id":"9781473616127","title":"The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein","description":"In 2075, the Moon is no longer a penal colony. But it is still a prison...       Life isn't easy for the political dissidents and convicts who live in the scattered colonies that make up lunar civilisation. Everything is regulated strictly, efficiently and cheaply by a central supercomputer, HOLMES IV.       When humble technician Mannie O'Kelly-Davis discovers that HOLMES IV has quietly achieved consciousness (and developed a sense of humour), the choice is clear: either report the problem to the authorities... or become friends.     And perhaps overthrow the government while they're at it.          The Moon is a Harsh Mistress has been called Robert A. Heinlein's crowning achievement. His best-known novels include Starship Troopers Mistress and Stranger in a Strange Land.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43206152913074,"sku":"9781473616127","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781473616127_ccd57c83-e10a-4b76-9bab-42cb44cd8b33.jpg?v=1698942578","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781473616127","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
