Robert Heinlein

Especially the Moon is a Harsh Mistress

I love the story, and the concepts of a computer that "wakes up". The development of the revolution and the various involvements of the characters drew me into their backgrounds.

Wonderful quotes:
Bog Is a computer one of your creatures
Then he did die
We can throw rocks


Some may find it right wing - I always thought it was rather anarchistic - I think if you want to
label the politics it is closest to libertarian socialism.

Various of his other works are also cult classics - Stranger in a Strange Land etc
