Patrick (halfadd3r) In many of Heinlein's Novels he does either a thought experiment or lays out a physical model of how to think of a proccess.

In this novel he gives us the triangle based clandestine cell structure which is "drawn" in the book but never pictured. In 'For Us the Living', there's a complex "game" that explains how micro-economies work.

Do his other books have similar facets? Starship Troopers didn't seem to, and I will be honest and say I couldn't get into Stranger in a Strange Land. If other books do have these, has anyone ever considered doing a book or video series recreating them? Just a thought.

Loving this book
