 Read on for more information on this presentation that will be given at PhreakNIC by Amy Sturgis.
His fans run the gamut from conservatives to libertarians, astronomers to astrologists. The Church of All Worlds even calls him a prophet and his novel A Stranger in A Strange Land a holy book. He published for five decades, winning a record four Hugo Awards, three "retro-Hugos," and the Sequoyah Award for young adult fiction, and became the first recipient of the Grand Master Nebula Award for Lifetime Achievement. What is the key to Heinlein's work, and why is it still revered today? Who, if anyone, follows in his footsteps? Dr. Amy H. Sturgis will consider the ways in which Heinlein used traditional "hard SF" to explore what it means to be human, and how his controversial perspectives on liberty, community, race, and sexuality continue to challenge 21st-century readers.
