Heinlein is usually good. Has there ever been a movie of The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress? That ought to be on the Patriots' Reading List, along with 1984, Brave New World, Animal Farm, Atlas Shrugged, The Giver, and others I'm sure I've forgotten.

No, it hasn’t. And you’d think at least someone would try it if only for the group marriage aspect.
Given the quality of sci-fi porn these days, that might be the only way it gets made.

"The Giver" is such a brilliant novel.

Probably as prescient as 1984 in describing what a dystopia liberal policies will lead to.

A dead society, that has no memory of the past, old people put to death when deemed no longer useful, but ONE person is there to remind people of freedom.

I have no idea why the left loves it.

It pretty much indicts their whole philosophy.

*Side note: I only read the first novel. Not sure whether they "redeem" liberals in the follow ups.

The original DESTROYS liberal thinking.

This time traveler story by Dan Simmons is particularly relevant today.
