Let the roads roll Robert Heinlein always amazed me with his ideas, which he skillfully put on paper. His works are always interesting, and the story "Roads must Roll" is especially memorable. I remember the work for its unprecedented intensity. This is a kind of action-packed action movie, where the action takes place rapidly and it is felt with every page of the work. The author does not go into details of the imagined world, does not reveal the characters. Heinlein fully shows the action, having previously introduced readers to the main characters of the story — the roads. The skill of the writer allows us to present such a human development in all its details. It is a great opportunity for people to quickly cross huge distances, just by getting on mobile roads. It's so interesting and so exciting. I really want to see it in reality, but you realize that it's fantastic. However, there are still a lot of questions about the safety of this type of movement and the following problems in this regard. With his narration, Heinlein raises a lot of problems of his time, reveals the social background of what is happening in society. What role do public organizations or the government play, how can individuals influence a situation of such magnitude as appears in the work. Perhaps the author believes that in real life people need a strong leader, that he will be ready to solve complex problems of a social and not only character, like his main character, that he appears to be a courageous and determined person, a leader, that he is ready to make important decisions and take responsibility. Although Heinlein does not devote time to revealing the past of the characters, their motivation, in order to show the reader the image of the characters more fully, Robert does this through the actions of the actors. This decision seems to encourage the readers themselves to draw conclusions about this or that person in the work on their own. Heinlein's story has been around for more than 80 years. Many things now seem naive in this work, but not the problems that the author raises. There will always and everywhere be supporters and opponents of certain projects, there will always be dissatisfied and consenting. This is human nature. I liked the work very much. Dynamic, interesting, fresh. It is not for nothing that "Roads must Roll" became the winner of the Hugo Award for 1941. And this award took place retrospectively, that is, the award was awarded in the modern world (in 2016). This means that the topics raised are still relevant for our time. 9 out of 10
