The future is better than the past. Despite the crepe hangers, romanticists, and anti-intellectuals, the world steadily grows better because the human mind, applying itself to environment, makes it better. With hands ... with tools ... with horse sense and science and engineering.
Robert A. HeinleinNo storyteller has been able to dream up anything as fantastically unlikely as what really does happen in this mad Universe.
Robert A. HeinleinThe bugs are not like us. The Pseudo-Arachnids arenโt even like spiders. They are arthropods who happen to look like a madmanโs conception of a giant intelligent spider, but their organization, psychological and economic, is more like that of ants or termites; they are communal entities, the ultimate dictatorship of the hive.
