I found this pdf of it just now. I'd say worth the read just to see the differences between the source material and the movie. It's short, should only take 10 minutes.

I did like the movie! There were some things I was really pleased with how they handled, some things not as much, some things were even done better than the original. Truth be told, I'm not a fan of the author's wannabe Hemingway All-Dialogue-Little-Description style in the bar scene and flashbacks, so it's really cool to see the characters actually act and react and show emotion in the movie.

Thanks for introducing it the way you did, otherwise it wouldn't have caught my attention.

Thanks for letting me know about the short story. Predestination is one of my favorite movies and I didn't know it was actually an adaptation! From Heinlein, no news
