Helpful Score: 1

This is a book that really explores what it means to love, and defines love in such an expansive way that I can't help wishing that real people were more like the ones in the book. This central theme is set against a backdrop of a world where violence and decay have taken hold, a stark contrast. Heinlein wrote this in the sixties and set it in the 90's and it's a bit of a shock to think that this was his expectation for how our society would develop (and thankfully hasn't!) There is a ton of social commentary in this book if you stop to think about it. This would be a great book for a discussion group.
