Revolt in 2100
The year is 2100, and America is ruled by a corrupt and despotic religious dictator. He maintains power through the clever use of advanced psychological techniques and a dedicated military machine. An entire population is rendered helpless.
But under the surface, rebellion simmers. A steadily growing band of men is preparing to storm the most impregnable bastille of all – the collective mind of a nation.
No one else comes even close to Heinlein in consistently fusing scientific thinking with fictional form.
