Try "Farnham's Freehold", where he decided to cover racism by exploring how badly whites might be treated in a post-apocalyptic future (it's shit for lots of other reasons but that's the big one), if you have a very strong stomach. Or Friday, which should make you throw up no matter how cast iron it is ("rape is fine if your rapist is manly enough and marries you later"). In his early days he wrote some interesting stuff like "By his bootstraps", but as he got older it was either self-worshipping, self-indulgent wank ( e.g. "Time enough for Love", or "I shall fear no evil") or rancid, toxic, hard-libertarian fantasies (most of what's been mentioned so far and more besides).
He once had to be restrained from getting into a fight with Arthur C. Clarke because Clarke took the piss out of Reagan's Star Wars project.

Hold on there cowboy, taking the piss out of Arthur is acceptable about his writing on the Bermuda triangle being fiction over fact.
But the star wars and dementia Regan really is fair game so someone is a fascist with a joy of Hugo boss uniforms and springtime for Hitler...great tune.
I believe that every anti maxi/fashist march should begin with the beautiful song of springtime for Hitler. With all the dance moves.
