F that. I’ll take David Bowie over Robert Heinlein (or Paul Verhoeven) any day.

At least Paul Verhoeven is aware his work is satire. Heinlein seems like he can't decide whether fascism is a way to discuss interesting ideas or the best possible form of government.

Edit: but Bowie is clearly the best option here.
