What it's about is a social critique of American politics disguised as a science fiction novel. It's odd because Heinlein was a bit right wing, but this book is a blue-print for why an anrcho-socialist society is a good idea. That said, the writing can be a bit juvenile at times, as juvenile SF was where Heinlein was coming from in terms of marketing and audience.
