RE: Robert Heinlein Predicts the Rise of the Witness... Steemit makes it come true
Heinlein's work can be divided into two main categories
Before Stranger...and after.
Sea Change at that point some say.
He is/was one of my favorite authors. Anytime something published by him hit the shelfs I immediately putin an interlibrary loan request.
(I lived in a small town)
I read Moon is a Harsh Mistress non stop in one sitting...and I was annoyed when it ended...same with Friday.
in a way we do have Fair Witnesses today.
it's called cell phone video.
Cell Phones! That's true, we can all capture the moment, so to speak. I need to read Moon, I have read good things about it and it's another one of his seminal works. I read "Time Enough for Love" and enjoyed it. One thing that is pretty interesting is that Heinlein places characters in his books that give "long speeches in quiet moments." In these speeches are his treatises one might say, about governing, religion, spirituality, economics, justice, and the like.
