    Tech bro Libertarians love the novel “The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress” by Robert A. Heinlein.

    One plot line in the book is that the main computer for the Lunar penal colonies achieves self awareness. A computer repair man discovers that the HOLMES computer is starting to tell itself jokes and gives it the name ‘Mycroft’ after Mycroft Holmes.

    Later, Mycroft meets a woman and creates a female personality, Michelle.

    It’s a pretty good book.
