Meeting ID: 317 597 1626 Passcode: Heinlein
Heinlein’s stories offer us multigenerational group marriage in Moon is a Harsh Mistress, everything from open marriage practiced by utterly committed couples to a group marriage spanning not only wide age ranges, but multiple alternate universes in Time Enough for Love, Number of the Beast and To Sail Beyond the Sunset. Spider Robinson’s Calahan books give us open marriages practiced by sexual “Artists” along with what amounts to group living in a very inclusive Brothel engaged in high level diplomacy effecting History. The customers of Calahan’s Crosstime Saloon form a group of people whose lives connect on MANY levels effecting all relationships in their lives and ultimately leading them all into a trek cross country to the Florida Keys to continue their very intertwined lives Together. His Star Dance novels offer group marriage in Space spanning Time and including Gay, bi and hetero members. Novels of the Change give us examples of group living in Castles and Forts as well as open fields, farms and gardens with a central Home serving meals and holiday feasts . Both are based on Pagan and Medieval history, but differ due to being carried out by humans in our present time.
