Sucks. Only finished it because I’m reading all the winners of the Hugo for best novel. Never reading anything else by Heinlein again.

There's a lot of great concepts at play here, but the execution of them story wise is questionable, especially with the way the author tends to use this book as an author tract- something that isn't always smoothly executed in story. Which while in some ways this book was ahead of its time, in others it is exactly a product of the time it was written, namely with the racism and misogyny.
Graphic: Police brutality
Moderate: Ableism, Death, Infertility, Racism, Sexism, Sexual assault, Sexual content, Medical trauma, Pregnancy, and War
