The lunar colony never intended to rebel. Established as a penal settlement, Luna housed three million people - descendants of exiles who'd adapted to life in underground warrens and lower gravity. But exploitation has its limits. The Earth-based Lunar Authority controlled every aspect of commerce, setting both buying and selling prices to keep Loonies perpetually indebted while Earth reaped enormous profits from lunar exports. Even worse, every shipment of grain to Earth meant Luna was losing precious water and nutrients that could never be replaced. As Professor Bernardo de la Paz warned, "Every load you ship to Terra condemns your grandchildren to slow death." When armed guards violently broke up a peaceful political meeting, they ignited the spark that would become revolution. Against overwhelming odds - three million unarmed Loonies versus Earth's eleven billion people with ships, bombs, and weapons - a small group of revolutionaries dared to imagine independence. Their story combines political intrigue, technological innovation, and the birth of artificial consciousness into a tale that has influenced generations of science fiction writers, political thinkers, and even entrepreneurs like Elon Musk. At its heart lies a simple truth captured in the Loonies' favorite acronym: TANSTAAFL - There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch.
