Featuring "All You Zombies—," the basis for the movie PredestinationThis collection from Grand Master Robert A. Heinlein includes five short stories sure to please science fiction fans everywhere. The title story tells the tale of a young man who meets a time-traveling bartender whose origins—and relation to the young man—are more complex and stranger than the Ouroboros ring on the barkeep's finger. In The Man Who Traveled in Elephants—one of both Heinlein and Spider Robinson's all-time favorite stories—we join a former traveling salesman on a bus. The man and his wife had once traveled with a host of imaginary animals searching for places to sell elephants. "They—" takes listeners inside a mental institution, where a man suffering from delusions has been confined. In Our Fair City, a parking attendant named Pappy, a sentient whirlwind named Kitten, and a crusading reporter named Pete aim to take down their corrupt city government. Lastly, in "—And He Built a Crooked House," a clever architect designs a house in the shape of the shadow of a tesseract, but it collapses through the fourth dimension when an earthquake shakes it into a more stable form.

Picked this up because I saw a movie trailer for a film called Predestination. When I looked it up, I found out it was based on Heinlein's short story "All You Zombies." I had to read it. Holy mindblown. "All You Zombies" was INSANE and I had to check the Wikipedia to make sure I understood it right. WTH?! "They" was pretty freaky. "And They Built a Crooked House" was quite confusing but entertaining. "Our Fair City" was quite unique. "The Man Who Travelled in Elephants" was sad. All in all, a
This collection of five short stories, written in the mid 20th century, is as relevant today as when written. Heinlein speculates about life and death, sanity and insanity, and whether a whirlwind (nature) can have conscious intentions that will affect humanity. Heinleins insights, as usual, are intelligent and play on the boundary between credible and impossible.My favorite story, And He Built a Crooked House, is about a crooked Los Angeles architect who gets a commission to build a crooked

A masterwork of bootstrap paradoxes and nested timelines. Very fun. Choke on that, causality.They... ★★★★☆A man locked in a mental facility remains
