Sweconpoddar 40 – Reading Robert A. Heinlein today
Robert A. Heinlein is one of the important authors who shaped science fiction. This is a
conversation about reading and re-reading Heinlein in 2016. Sometimes you hear
claims that he wrote anti-feminist, racist books, promoting an extreme right-wing political
view. In what ways are these accusations true and false? If you’ve never read Heinlein
but want to educate yourself, where is the best place to start?
Participants: John-Henri Holmberg and Jessica Elgenstierna (M).
