Revolt in 2100

Revolt in 2100 is a 1953 science fiction collection by American writer Robert A. Heinlein, part of his Future History series.

[1] "Coventry" and "Misfit" are short stories showing the succeeding secular liberal society from the point of view of characters who reject it.

"The Sound of His Wings" would have followed a televangelist named Nehemiah Scudder who rode a populist, racist wave of support to the presidency.

Reviewer Groff Conklin described the book as "a classic" and the lead story as "a smashing tale of revolution in the United States".

[2] Boucher and McComas, however, described the collection as "[i]mpressive in its time, and important in the development of modern science fiction", but found it highly uneven, "with pages worthy of the mature 1954 Heinlein ... followed immediately by passages from the author's literary apprenticeship".
