Anyway. One of his famous novels deals with life in a Fascist/theocratic America around 2100. This state was created after the election of a Christian religious fanatic as president, followed by Hitler-style enablement act. In 2012. Eek. Wonder who that could be?

Important Palin-related warning
Robert Heinlein was a science fiction writer who, amongst other things, successfully predicted the nuclear power plant, the mobile phone, the Internet, sexual liberation and the end to institutionalised racism in the United States. (He also had a few major failed predictions, notably an imminent (in the 40s) world food crisis which would keep the population below three billion, but the Green Revolution would not have been particularly obvious from that point.)
