Heinlein is always a very creative science fiction writer. This book includes cryogenics and time travel. It tells the story of Dan Davis, an electronics engineer who invents household robot help. His partner and fiance conspire to betray him and steal his technology and place him into the "long sleep" for thirty years. Thirty years later Davis wakes to a new world that he loves, but he soon feels it is important to go back to the past to change things for him and his former partners and discovers someone who can do so. It ends with everything happy and those who deserve punishment being punished.
It is a quick easy read. It is also fast-paced enough to keep your attention in spite of not being particularly deep. The title is clever, though, as it is explained early on and resonates with our experiences.
