The Domains of Koryphon: Good

The Integral Trees
In the far future, the crew of an interstellar expedition abandoned the main spacecraft, which housed an AI who monitored the crew for the all-powerful State. The “mutineers”, as the AI calls them, made a new home in a gas torus that rotates around a neutron star, rich in trees, animals, sufficient water, but no real gravity.

In the evening I started in The Integral Trees, The Smoke Ring series book 1 by Larry Niven.
