I've always been impressed by Arthur C. Clarke's vision of lunar colonies. "Earthlight" and "A Fall of Moondust" come to mind.

I'm not interested in creating a forum that is anti-science fiction or in which people argue like they used to on Twitter; you have X and Facebook for that. The question was what science fiction novel do you think think best demonstrates what a lunar colony will be like; please stick to the topic.
