Moving here as most of his published work used the form "Robert Heinlein"
'''Robert Anson Heinlein''' (1907-1988) was one of the most popular and influential science-fiction writers of the twentieth century, often viewed as one of the "Big Three" authors with [[Arthur C. Clarke]] and [[Isaac Asimov]]. His work helped define the genre; Asimov referred to his work as "the third nova" of science fiction, an entry into the field that changed it substantially from that which came before.
His many novels included ''The Puppet Masters,'' ''Starship Troopers,'' ''The Moon is a Harsh Mistress,'' and ''Stranger in a Strange Land.''
His politics defied categorization. They were broadly libertarian. He was a strong supporter of the military, but also espoused the sexual revolution of the 1960s.
