Robinson’s fiction has a sadistic streak (very bad things happening to the unattractive characters) that Heinlein’s doesn’t. One of the later Callahan’s novels has a plot turn which indicates that Robinson had some idea that this was problematic.
In any case, I hope you read some Robinson and let us know what you think.

I love what I have read. I’ve only read a few of his novels though. Which one has that plot turn and what’s the plot turn?
It was a Callahan’s novel which came out in the past ten years or so. It might have been Callahan’s Key.

I’m really sorry, but I don’t remember the details.
Thanks… I’m still going through the most recent Callahan novels. Jake Stonebender does kinda have a temper.
I checked with a friend who’s a Robinson fan. It was Callahan’s Key, and it was n yvgre bs hevar.
