Luna
"The Moon wants to kill you. Whether it's being unable to pay your per diem for your allotted food, water, and air, or you just get caught up in a fight between the Moon's ruling corporations, the Five Dragons. You must fight for every inch you want to gain in the Moon's near feudal society. And that is just what Adriana Corta did. As the leader of the Moon's newest "dragon," Adriana has wrested control of the Moon's Helium-3 industry from the Mackenzie Metal corporation and fought to earn her family's new status. Now, at the twilight of her life, Adriana finds her corporation, Corta Helio, surrounded by the many enemies she made during her meteoric rise. If the Corta family is to survive, Adriana's five children must defend their mother's empire from her many enemies... and each other"

What Hacker News says
- So many listed here are already in my top list, what I haven’t seen is the Luna Trilogy by Ian McDonald. Neat ideas from corporate run future moon colony.
- I enjoyed Seveneves. I'd recommend Luna: New Moon by Ian McDonald as another recent moon-based book that's enjoyable sci-if. Mega corporations rule the moon and the government largely ignores what they do as long as raw materials are still delivered to Earth.
- In "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", it is described as a 'line marriage'. I have read the book, and thought the idea was quite interesting. The more recent book "Luna: New Moon" by Ian McDonald explores similar ideas (and is also set on the moon).
I was trying to inform the parent commenter of the 'opposite' of "polygamy", but this was apparently unappreciated on HN. On that note, I think I will no longer be commenting on HN, due to the aggressive downvoting. I am aware of the guideline about commenting on downvotes, but I no longer care.
