WSJ: Robert A. Heinlein's Legacy

Posted in by Kenneth Newquist on Thu, 07/26/2007 - 11:23am

This month is the centennial celebration of Robert Heinlein's birthday. In honor of it, the Wall Street Journal has this opinion piece by Taylor Dinerman celebrating the author's legacy. It provides a good overview of Heinlein's career, though it ignores the sexual weirdness that factored into much of Heinlein's later work (e.g. his obsession with incest in Time Enough for Love).
