Often called the "Dean of Science Fiction Writers," Robert A. Heinlein is considered one of the "Big Three" of English-language classic science fiction, but why isn't he read more today? In episode 359, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they explore Heinlein's complex legacy of shifting political philosophy, grapple with an explicitly militaristic yet utopian vision of the future, trace the origins of power armor, and lay the groundwork for their comparison next week with the Paul Verhoeven's memorable adaptation.
