| Re: Moon is a Harsh Mistress - fresh discussion
Before finishing Mistress, something came to me. When the story starting telling of Great China.
Knowing their immense energy needs today, and their announcement of a desire for moon mining (h+)...there was one of those moments of realizing, heard before reading.
The story wraps with China building a catapult in the Himalayas, Tibet.
Now with China laying claim to sovereignty over Tibet - perhaps Heinlein was more a seer than most have recently come to discover. |
