@MattZeitlin Heinlein was sane at one point. Double Star is a very sensible political science fiction novel.
When did Robert Heinlein lose his marbles? Starship Troopers? Stranger? Farnham's Freehold? Fear No Evil? Time Enough for Love?

@gerrycanavan Interesting article, although it can be read to support my view that late 1950s were turning point when RAH changed radically
