Historia del futuro 1

Resumen

The Past Through Tomorrow is a collection of Robert A. Heinlein's Future History stories.
Most of the stories are part of a larger storyline of a rapidly collapsing American sanity, followed by a theocratic dictatorship. A revolution overthrows the theocracy and establishes a free society which, nonetheless, does not save the pseudo-immortal Lazarus Long and his Howard Families from fleeing Earth for their lives. Most editions of the collection include a timeline showing the chronology of the stories, time of birth and death of the significant characters, and commentary by Heinlein.
