More about the book
It is a tale of revolution, of the rebellion of a former penal colony on the Moon against its masters on the Earth.

It is the story of the disparate people, a computer technician, a vigorous young female agitator, and an elderly academic who become the movement's leaders, and of Mike, the supercomputer whose sentience is known only to the revolt's inner circle, who for reasons of his own is committed to the revolution's ultimate success.
