Time enough for love - Heinlein
Nor crystal tears - Foster
A world out of time - Niven
Ringworld - Niven
Sassinak - McCaffrey
The Martian - Weir
Time Enough for Love was my favourite book as a young man. Tried re-reading it recently and really struggled. I feel like the last 20 years of social progress has really dated Heinlein’s language especially (less so his ideas). Was a shame.
Agreed. Several of his books have suffered the same fate unfortunately.
That said, the ideas do still ring very true… Albeit, many of them are the ideas I wish were more fantasy.
