a classic-Stranger in a Strange Land

Stranger in a Strange LandStranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Michael Valentyne Smith, a human child raised by Martians is still a stunning look at our culture through the eyes of someone outside the culture. Heinline examines all our conventions, religion, sex, politics, corporations, death. Yet, the story isn't just philosopy, it is a page-turner to the end.

It was written in the 50s, not published till the 60's and is still relevant for the most part. Do you Grok it?
