The Crazy Years
(Redirected from Crazy Years)
In the historical timeline used in many of his stories, science fiction author Robert Heinlein referred to the late 20th & early 21st centuries as The Crazy Years. This was a period of history in his stories in which technology rapidly advanced while society broke down. In 1941 Heinlein wrote:
Considerable technical advance during this period, accompinied (sic) by a gradual deterioration of mores, orientation and social institutions, terminating in mass psychoses in the sixth decade and the Interregnum. [1] [2]
A growing number of people are now regarding this as prescient.
