Methuselah's children
Rear Cover Synopsis
	"After the fall of the American Ayatollahs as foretold in
'Stranger in a Strange Land' and chronicled in 'Revolt in 2100',
the United States of America at last fulfills the promise inherent 
in its first Revolution; for the first time in human history there
is a nation with Liberty and Justice for all.
	No one may seize or harm the person or property of another, 
or invade his privacy, or force him to do his bidding. Americans 
are fiercely proud of their re-won liberties and the blood it cost 
them; NOTHING could make them foreswear those truths they hold 
self-evident. Nothing except the promise of immortality..."

Robert A. Heinlein
Robert Anson Heinlein was an American science fiction writer. Often called "the dean of science fiction writers", he was one of the most popular, influential, and controversial authors of the genre. He set a high standard for science and engineering plausibility and helped to raise the genre's standards of literary quality. He was one of the first writers to break into mainstream, general magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post, in the late 1940s, with unvarnished science fiction. He was among the first authors of bestselling, novel-length science fiction in the modern, mass-market era. For many years, Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and Arthur C. Clarke were known as the "Big Three" of science fiction. ([Source](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A._Heinlein).)
