A very influential book, you'll see kernels of its ideas all over the place in science fiction. It does great world building with the lunar colony and their ways of life. I really liked this book and especially enjoyed it's commentary on politics which I found painfully relevant to this day and age. Also enjoyable to see a story about A.I. where the computer isn't the villain. Thought provoking book, give it a read!
