short stories.
(the sexism in the short story “let there be light” is especially eggregious, some might have difficulty seeing beyond it. i suggest skipping it entirely, but it’s slightly interesting because heinlein uses a lot of hippie language in the dialogue, very odd.)
“the man who sold the moon” followed by its “requiem” are the best of these 4 stories. requiem is beautiful in places.
