Al C. (vavoice) - reviewed on 12/11/2006 + 158 more book reviews

I have to agree with Spider Robinson, who introduces the book, that this is actually a series of essays thinly disguised as a work of Science Fiction.
I also agree that this first novel is definitely the foundation which will determine Heinlein's future writing style. I was amazed at how prophetic some of his inventions were; and I enjoyed looking at his educated guess at world history and economics, some of which was pretty close to the real thing.
