«The Number of the Beast» is the science fiction novel by Robert A. Heinlein, published by Hodder & Stoughton Ltd in paperback (560 pages, in English).
An eccentric scientist builds a machine to travel through space and time and discovers 666 alternative universes linked to the number of the beast. The narrative crosses Martian penal colonies, a world without the letter i and paradoxes about fiction itself, in a speculative game characteristic of classic science fiction.
The novel was originally published in 1980; this edition is from October 1987 and corresponds to ISBN 9780450046759.
For readers of classic science fiction and followers of Robert A. Heinlein, with a taste for parallel universes and narrative games.
Robert Anson Heinlein was an American science fiction author, engineer, and naval officer. Sometimes called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was among the first to emphasize scientific accuracy in his fiction and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction. His published works, both fiction and non-fiction, express admiration for competence and emphasize the value of critical thinking. His plots often presented provocative situations which challenged conventional social mores. His work continues to have an influence on the science fiction genre and on modern culture more generally.
