5/5⭐Good heavens! And I almost missed out! I always say short stories aren't my thing, but this one is simply perfect. Couldn't be better. What a brilliantly executed 50 pages. I can't imagine it as a longer story. It's true that, within sci-fi, time travel is my weakness, but **All You Zombies** by Robert A. Heinlein is a must-read. It's left me wanting more Heinlein.100% recommended. If you love time travel stories, this one's for you! Definitely one of the best short story book reviews out th...

A small gem about time travel and its paradoxes, brilliant!!It really messes with your head in a major way, haha!#18. The shortest book on your Goodreads TBR list. Literary challenge: unread books 2022. If you're looking for a quick and mind-bending science fiction read, Robert A. Heinlein's *All You Zombies* is perfect! This short story is a fantastic exploration of time travel paradoxes that will leave you scratching your head in the best way possible. Definitely a great choice for a short bu...

Not Even an Episode of Star Trek......And why isn't it? According to Heinlein, consciousness creates itself. Forget all that mythical divine genesis nonsense or that Darwinian evolution garbage. This is the real deal, the theory with punch: time travel comes standard with being Homo sapiens, at least for those who can handle it (the rest are just zombies). The perks are pretty damn amazing – choosing when and where you're born, for starters. And none of the neurotic baggage of family life. Liter...

Just as the limerick, “There once was a man from Nantucket –“ is the filthiest yet most recognizable 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 ever written. Published in 1960, a reader and fan can see the early ideas that would eventually bloom in *Time Enough for Love* and *I Will Fear No Evil*. Was Heinlein a dirty old man? Yes, and in 1960, at the s...

Why does the English language *still* not contain a word meaning "to have sex with an earlier or later version of yourself, using a time machine"? I'm baffled._________________________________Inspired by Ivonne's new word, I present a couple of extracts from *All You Zombies*, which I am reliably informed will be the big indie hit of 2021:- Why, you heinleining little bitch! I should put you over my knee and spank you!- You do that, big boy. And remember, you're going to enjoy it twice.- Twice?-...

I'm speechless!
(Robert A. Heinlein's *All You Zombies*... just wow. Looking for a mind-bending short story? This is it. Seriously, I have no words. A must-read for any sci-fi fan.)

Lo he tenido que leer dos veces y estudiarme los diagramas, pero ya me hago una idea... Mientras lo digiero y puedo preparar una reseña, diré que me ha parecido una novela muy entretenida, ingeniosa y curiosa, aunque me temo que choca bastante con mi idea de los desplazamientos temporales.

Todos ustedes, zombies (1958) es un relato bastante recomendado del prolífico autor de Ciencia Ficción, Robert A. Heinlein (1907-1988). Una historia original y compleja a pesar de su brevedad. Aborda el tema de los viajes en el tiempo y las paradojas que pueden provocar. Aparte de la propia paradoja, el resto de los elementos son ya por sí mismos surrealistas. También me ha parecido atrevido el tema de género que plantea (aunque sea necesario para la historia) teniendo en cuenta el año en que fu...

Me acaba de explotar la cabeza 🤯. ¡Qué locura tan maravillosa!

El tema de los viajes en el tiempo siempre será algo que me fascine, y en este relato es simplemente... INCREIBLE. El autor juega con las paradojas de forma brillante.
Hasta el final no se sabe exactamente que narices pasa, pero todo tiene sentido al final... O no. La verdad es que hay que pensar un poco (bastante) en lo que se revela al final.

Una genialidad.

A man walks into a bar. (Hah.) He gets into a conversation with the bartender, who wears a ring shaped like the worm Ouroboros. The barkeep is actually a "temporal agent." (What that means is revealed over the course of the story.) The two men talk of many things: writing "true confession" stories, love lives, cads who love em' and leave em'... It turns out the guy at the bar is intersex (born with both sex organs, raised as a woman but now a man). Introduce time travel and a paradox or three an...
