Narration To Books All You Zombies
Just as the limerick, “There once was a man from Nantucket –“ is the foulest yet most recognized of all, and just as the classic “Why did the chicken cross the road?” is the best joke, so is Robert A. Heinlein’s “All You Zombies-“ it is hands down the best time travel short story.Published in 1960, a reader and fan can see the early ideas for Time Enough for Love and I Will Fear No Evil. Was Heinlein a dirty old man? Yes, and in 1960, at the still young age of 53, he was just learning to fill out his garter and stockings.
I love the time travel section of the science fiction / fantasy genre. I love the weird ones, the quizzical ones and the ones you just can’t figure out. I love the good (H.G. Wells classic The Time Machine), the bad (Piers Anthony’s Bearing An Hourglass) and the ugly (Heinlein’s own Time Enough for Love). Poul Anderson’s many adventures in time needs special mention.
But for a short story to pack a lot into a small package, “All You Zombies-“ wins the prize.

Predestination is the movie based on this (famous?) short story. I watched it. I didn't get it. But it was fun.
Amazing, Mind-blowing, Thrilling, Fascinating..
Re-read 6/2/18:Nostalgia hits again. :) Thinking about doing a lot more Heinlein reads fairly soon. :)Original Review:I had to reread this after just watching Predestination on which it was based. I was impressed with the movie but even more so with the story. I guess I picked up more nuances this time. It was all the more impressive because of how the character study really played out and what wasn't said but could be deduced. I think I can thank the movie more for that aspect, although one
This story is like a neutron star: very small but with a weight beyond one's imagination. Terrific.
So good. And totally insane. The best kind of time travel story.
