Mike is names after Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock Holmes' brother.

It seems to me that you missed the point entirely. The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress is my favorite Heinlien book, and I have read almost everything he wrote. The book is not about the computer, and it's becoming sentient. It's about a struggle to throw off incompetent governing. It's about people as a group and as unique individuals. Heinlein's greatest ability is his understanding of people and how they react in given situations. His second greatest ability is translating it with a sense of irony and humor.

I'm reading much more Heinlein lately!! Thanks for the comment

[@iasimov5960]

Every time I think I've read all of Heinlein's books, I discover another one.

The Moon is a Harsh my favorite book of all time (currently reading it a 3rd time). I never thought I would cry when you can't connect to a computer. Stranger is really solid, as well as Time Enough For Love.

Heinlein hit his stride in the 60s, moon was a triumph of vision

[@danecobain]

I have a copy of this, I really need to get to it!

[@ChrisMcDonough]

Its Mycroft. Sherlock Holmes' brother. No depth to the story? Did you read this book?

[@Simon-Jester]

TANSTAAFL!

[@mpetersen6]

The highlight of the book is when the representative of the intelligencia gets tossed out the airlock.

[@martinsFILMS13]

im 120 pages into this book and its ok so far but not very compelling

[@Simon-Jester]

You need to re read this, you got the whole thing wrong.

I could not begin to express how much respect I have for your outreach work at your local Prison -But on the other hand, as a foreigner from distant shores, America's privatized "for profit" prison system, looks like the ultimate cautionary tale that all other capitalist societies should avoid at all costs.

[@B.LEE.DbrianleedurfeeREVIEWS]

In Utah the prison is run by the state government and always has been. Private prisons are slowly being fazed out in other states. I would not work for a private prison. They SUCK!!! And they are dangerous. And they pay is SHIT

[@MrBendybruce]

It's great to hear there is reform happening in that sector! And not even remotely surprised that the private prisons siphon all the profits into the pockets of the owners/share holders -at the expense of the staff; prisoners and facilities, which is exactly why that model is such a disaster.
