The Door Into Summer by Robert Heinlein:
Science Fiction Inventions and Ideas
Engaging novel about a genius electronics engineer who creates general purpose robots for
everyone to use. A greedy business partner and faithless fiancee trick him into cold sleep -
not realizing that the future holds a way to help him get back at them. A careful reading of
this novel provides insight into the character of the Heinlein Individual; a self-reliant
American with a very particular set of values. Select
