In chapter 7 of The Smart Kid, the novel Methuselah’s Children by Robert A. Heinlein is mentioned.
This sci-fi novel shares a theme with The Smart Kid. The school counselor told the librarian that she was researching a student named ‘Matthew Selah.’ And the librarian laughed, “You mean Methuselah?”
But, also, it is written by my favorite sci-fi author. I read almost everything by Heinlein.
Who is he?
Scene from Big Bang Theory:
Penny asked Sheldon, “Heinlein. Is he any good?”
Sheldon said, “I have a statue of him.”
