Be prepared for a shock.

War is inevitable, so family and friends move into a fallout shelter for the duration. Due to some quirk, they come out at another time after the war has finished off civilization, as we knew it. Now prepare for a different civilization. This book is a classic example of Late Heinlein's works as opposed to his early works, i.e., "Past Through Tomorrow Future History Stories." However, as in any discipline, the early product is usually more structured and well inside the curve of accepted norms. You can only carry that so far. Then any artist who is to stand out must experiment and take chances beyond the norm. That is what made "Stranger in a Strange Land" (be sure to read the full-length version) so great. What do you do after that? Die? No, you either stagnate or further define your point. I cannot tell you what this book does. However, it is worth reading.
