RELATED: The 9 Best Movies Like 'Jojo Rabbit' From 'Starship Troopers' to 'Inglorious Basterds'Īlthough Bryan Singer was reputedly attached to a film adaptation in 2015, nothing much seems to have happened since, which is a pity because the novel's climax, when Earth tries to repress the lunar rebellion and retake the colony, is exciting and tragic, providing a distant mirror to American's own revolution 300 years before. Set on a lunar colony that rebels against a distant and uncaring Earth (a similar theme is used in The Expanse), the story is told from the point-of-view of computer technician Mannie who discovers that Mike, the computer running the colony's infrastructure, has become sentient. Less well known, but a better story, is The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress, a tale about revolution, sacrifice, friendship and freedom. Robert Heinlein's novel Starship Troopers is well known to modern science fiction viewers because of the films and television series based on the novel.
