His job is to maintain a HOLMES IV-type mainframe computer which Mannie names Mycroft - Mike for short. By day, Mannie works as a tech support contractor for the Lunar Authority in Luna City. Mannie is part of the Davis Clan: a large, polygamous family of various creeds and ages, who get by through farming, stealing a little electricity and water from the government, and helping out friends in need. The narrator is Manuel Garcia O'Kelly ( Man or Mannie for short), a regular multiethnic Lunar guy. They're a harsh but loving society, built on sexual autonomy and religious freedom. But they also see no problem with killing people who violate their customs. The proud Lunar people (Loonies) have their own distinct culture: they value politeness, respect, fair trials, hard work and consensual polygamy. The moon (Luna) has been a prison colony for several generations, but is well on its way to becoming a full-fledged society of its own. It's notable for originating many sci-fi tropes, including a sentient computer, Colony Drop tactics, and virtual acting. The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress (1966) is a Science Fiction novel written by Robert A.
