This July marks the hundredth anniversary of Robert Anson Heinlein’s birth, an event commemorated by The Heinlein Centennial, Inc., an independent group of Heinlein admirers, at the Robert A. Heinlein Centennial in Kansas City, Missouri. If all goes according to plan, a separate group, The Heinlein Society, plans to publish The Heinlein Centennial Reader later this year. (The winners of The Heinlein Centennial’s story contest may be found at their website. The Heinlein Society has announced their short story contest, and they promise details will be available soon.)
This month marks the centennial of science fiction grand master Robert A. Heinlein‘s birth, and it would seem inappropriate not to somehow acknowledge that here in Tangent‘s “classics” corner.
