Disagree.  Not about the book being quite good, but labeling it as
"cyberpunk."  Mike was just a character in the novel just like Manny and
Wye.  Mike was Heinlein's first incarnation of his later AIs such as Dora,
Minerva, and Athena in "Time Enough For Love" and Gay Deceiver in "The
Number of the Beast."  I don't think of any of these characters existing in
cyberpunk novels.
