Revolt in 2100

Heinlein's portrayal feels both timely and prophetic, but I wonder what real-world events or ideas influenced his vision of the future.

The themes of power, control, and rebellion seem eerily prescient. How do readers interpret Heinlein’s take on authority in this book?

His straightforward yet evocative prose kept me engaged, but I’m curious if others found certain sections slow or intense, and whether that was intentional.
