Heinlein’s story about a lunar colony’s revolt against rule from Earth. Widely admired for its credible presentation of a comprehensively imagined future human society on both the Earth and the moon, it is generally considered one of Heinlein’s major novels as well as one of the most important science fiction novels ever written.

At its core, it is a tale of libertarian revolution and is, along with Ayn Rand’s magnum opus ‘Atlas Shrugged,’ one of the greatest and most influential libertarian works of fiction ever created.

Join AFF-Chicago on June 12th for a very special event as we première an original musical work inspired by ‘The Moon is a Harsh Mistress’ from up-and-coming composer Danny Hynds. Following the performance, the composer will join a discussion on the book’s themes and the philosophy that inspired this new musical work.

Admission for non-members is $10 , and includes open bar and pizza. Admission is free to all AFF-Chicago members.

AFF-Austin launched on Thursday, April 25th to a packed house.  The Tap Room in downtown Austin served as the venue with attendees coming from all sectors of town including technology, law, business, policy, entrepreneurs and academia.  Guest speaker and Texas native Jeff Sandefer spoke to the crowd about his entrepreneurial journey and efforts to promote liberty.  Sandefer, the founder of Acton School of Business, delivered a motivating and thoughtful take on the entrepreneurial spirit and liberty.  He challenged attendees to recognize their intrinsic motivation to engage in the marketplace of ideas, and the importance of advancing the liberty movement in a principled way.  The remarks were followed by conversations over drinks and no shortage of enthusiasm about what lies ahead for America’s Future Foundation in Austin.

Fifteen young professionals came out to seek career advice on the interview process, how to move up in their organizations and how often to change jobs. Rowlands encouraged attendees to never view a job as too demeaning, “I graduated from Cornell in 1972 and my first job was stocking soap for PG, but it got me through the gates and into the castle where I could find more opportunities.”
John Oliverio concluded the evening by encouraging members to view the interview process like dating. If they don’t like you, you won’t get the job no matter how well-qualified you are.
The chapter also welcomed three new AFF Pittsburgh members.
