Classic Heinlein

It's a bit dated of course but nonetheless a classic of "what if".... and "if this goes on" rings as true today as it did upon the original publication.

Robert Heinlein is the best

Revolt in 2100 is a what if scenario that is actually starting to play out now...If this goes on ...
Coventry has us dreaming for a day when people recognize the individuals right to privacy, freedom, and complete abolishment of crime. Misfit is one of Heinlein's best short stories of everyone's son.

Overthrowing theocratic authoritarian government

Robert A Heinlein's Revolt in 2100 is a collection consisting of a short novel followed by two short stories. The novel offers a theocratic authoritarian government and describes the transition of an initially loyal and reverent bodyguard of the prophet as he gradually becomes part of the resistance as the corrupt nature of the ruling class is revealed. The two short stories describe life following the successful revolution and offer two distinct views on the pitfalls of any form of government as well as the lack of government.

While released as a collection in 50's, Heinlein wrote these tales in the late 30's to early 40's and reflect the global sour mood in the run up to WWII. While the different styles and approaches to government seem distinct, they all share the common feature of caring little for the public and effect processes and rituals of convenience and maintenance of the ruling class. Heinlein seems to have concluded that humans can always be depended upon for self-interest.

The narration is reasonable with decent character distinction and quick pacing.

An Old Favorite

Although somewhat dated, this book reflects the fundamental human values which Robert A. Heinlein both lived, and described so perfectly

Small problem ....

Revolt in 2100 ended abruptly. Not sure is the total end.
What then followed was a short story untitled about Andrew Libby, another of Heinlrin’s characters in other books.
I’m confused. Could you explain to me please. Only bothering to write this as Audible is a huge favorite of mine. Please respond.
