The sole reviewer of this says (incorrectly) that the Heinlein story is not very good when is was probably the best in the compilation. The reviewer totally missed the reason why the world ends, he thinks it was because everyone was becoming 'silly' when in fact everyone was becoming silly because they could subconsiously sense that everything was randomly coming together to bring about a catastrophic change. It might seem far-fetched and flaky as far as people's reactions/senses are concerned and I don't even know if chaos theory was a thing when he wrote it but we do know now that order can mathematically morph into chaos and then back into order again. I love it when these old-time scifi writers get things kind of sort of right as far as science is concerned.
And i didn't give too much away with writing this either, the story has lots of action-packed coolness to it if you ever get a chance to read it!
I loved Starship Troopers, though it becomes a little preachy some times. But one of his most popular novels Stranger on Strange Land I could not even finish, I could not get past all the free love hippie bullshit. My favorite Heinlein novel was Citizen of the Galaxy.
But anyhow, I was warned about the preachy part and was told that some scifi fans considered him very conservative and almost fascist because of his authoritarian worldview, that's why I was surprised when I read The Year Of The Jackpot. I was left with the impression that he's way more liberally minded than many people thought, but still okay with using violence to win the day. And now you mention that one of his stories had so much hippyness in it you couldn't even finish it. The more I hear about his stuff the more I want to read it just to find out more about what exactly made him tick. He must have been a very interesting person to get drunk with!
