I like The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress.
As described in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (great book), a linear accelerator would be great for the moon. Earth’s gravity is too high & atmosphere too dense for accelerators to be a good solution vs reusable boosters imo.

Made it about halfway then lost interest. Some interesting ideas (rock throwing), but implausible AI, imo. Note to give another shot later.
