>>>>> CONCEPTS

the Luna Authority - “That we were slaves I had known all my life--and nothing could be done about it. True, we weren't bought and sold--but as long as Authority held monopoly over what we had to have and what we could sell to buy it, we were slaves.

Loonies - Most inhabitants (called "Loonies") are criminals, political exiles, or descendants thereof, where men outnumber women two to one...sound familiar??

Ambivalent A.I. - one of the few stories where the human fear of enslavement-reprisals hasn't portrayed an AI as a humanity-hostile - or merely insane - inevitably merciless murder-machine.
