The Crazy Years

More about the book

Witty and irreverent, this anthology features a collection of essays by Spider Robinson that tackle a variety of topics, from the space program to smoking bans at airports. Drawing inspiration from Robert A. Heinlein's concept of the "Crazy Years," the essays reflect Robinson's work as an op-ed columnist for "The Globe and Mail" and "Galaxy Online." He critiques environmentalists prioritizing Earth over humanity, the absurdities of computer design, and the pitfalls of the Internet, offering sharp commentary on contemporary issues.
