David Brin Cues the Trumpets: Heinlein Warned Us

In a post on his blog and Facebook this morning, David Brin, noted SF author and accomplished prognosticator, reminds us that Robert Heinlein forewarned us, in quite detailed fashion, of the future upon whose precipice we are currently teetering:

David reminds us of just how prescient Heinlein was in his novel Revolt In 2100, and no quote more so than this one:

“Throw in a Depression for good measure, promise a material heaven here on earth, add a dash of anti-Semitism, anti-Catholicism, anti-Negrosim, and a good large dose of anti-“furriners” in general and anti-intellectuals here at home, and the result might be something quite frightening – particularly when one recalls that our voting system is such that a minority distributed as pluralities in enough states can constitute a working majority in Washington.”

There’s much more, but you’ll have to read it on David’s blog.  I strongly suggest that the growing resistance maintains good relations with the Teamsters.

Looking back at Heinlein’s Future History – coming true before our eyes.
