Why one of science fiction’s most ambitious biographies proves one of its most essential.
Hugh Farnham, along with his family and some friends, retreat from his large home or "freehold" into his bomb shelter, as tensions between the U.S. and Russia are about to erupt into nuclear war. The freehold survivors of this atomic apocalypse find themselves transported 2,000 years into a very different future, where many standards, assumptions and attitudes are turned on their heads. The freehold survivors find themselves detained, enslaved, and having to cope with a world of such different (sometimes bizarre) standards.
Written during the height of the Cold War, Robert Heinlein
challenges many assumptions about life, freedom and compromise, making FARNHAM'S FREEHOLD one of his most controversial novels.
