The Door Into Summer

Definitely a recommended read! I didn't realize when it was written until I checked the copyright date. Even then, it still shocks me. It's not "50s writing" by any means, and it holds up interestingly well today. It's still a "past future," but one that is charmingly realistic instead of anachronisticly twee. Plus, it follows all of its own rules. I found myself stopping now and then to either laugh at the humor or think about an implication. Check this one out; it's a short yet fantastic read that won't bore you for a second.
