At times delightfully anachronistic. Need to figure out a landing trajectory or a fuel consumption rate to save the spaceship? Use the slide ruler. Yea! Need to search a lot of data fast? Let the punch cards do it for you. Woohoo!
Not to be binge listened to. A short story now and again between full length novels, is the perfect way to take this fine collection in.
Narration is good. Perhaps a tad fast for my liking, but unobtrusive and pleasant.
Dated, but in a GOOD way.

Heinlein readily demonstrates his literary range from crafting a youth oriented tale of a missing child on the moon adventure to a 'Jetson's' style future where a service company readily develops new physics to satisfy the customer. The most thought provoking entry is the longest, qualifying more as a novella than a short story. The Logic of Empire outlines the exploitation of Venus that began as voluntary servitude but has transitioned to involuntary servitude bordering on slavery.
The narration is well done with an excellent range of characters. Pacing is brisk and each tale more along quickly, making for an enjoyable listen.

Weiner basically has one male voice and it is often hard to tell the gravely men apart.
