"One of the grand masters of science fiction."-- Wall Street Journal "A brilliant mind-bender...Wonderfully humanizing...The name of the leading character in  Stranger in a Strange Land  is as familiar to millions of literate persons as Oliver Twist or Holden Caulfield."--Kurt Vonnegut,  The New York Times   "Certainly among the most influential...science fiction novel[s] of all time."-- The Guardian " This book was destined to become a bestseller, shaping the sensibilities of a generation...The uncut novel more explicitly exhibits the author's views on human sexulatiy, women's issues, and geopolitics."-- Boston Globe, "One of the grand masters of science fiction."-- Wall Street Journal "A brilliant mind-bender...Wonderfully humanizing...The name of the leading character in Stranger in a Strange Land is as familiar to millions of literate persons as Oliver Twist or Holden Caulfield."--Kurt Vonnegut, The New York Times "Certainly among the most influential...science fiction novel[s] of all time."-- The Guardian " This book was destined to become a bestseller, shaping the sensibilities of a generation...The uncut novel more explicitly exhibits the author's views on human sexuality, women's issues, and geopolitics."-- Boston Globe, Praise for Robert A. Heinlein and Stranger in a Strange Land "One of the grand masters of science fiction."-- Wall Street Journal "A brilliant mind-bender...Wonderfully humanizing......Some 60,000 words that were cut from Heinlein's manuscript for economy back in 1961 are at last taking their rightful place in the body of world literature."--Kurt Vonnegut, The New York Times Book Review "Certainly among the most influential...science fiction novel[s] of all time."-- The Guardian "This book was destined to become a bestseller, shaping the sensibilities of a generation...The uncut novel more explicitly exhibits the author's views on human sexuality, women's issues, and geopolitics."-- The Boston Globe "One of the most popular science fiction novels ever published."-- Library Journal

Synopsis
The complete, uncut version of Robert A. Heinlein's all-time masterpiece, the brilliant novel that grew from a cult favorite to a bestseller to a science fiction classic. Raised by Martians on Mars, Valentine Michael Smith is a human who has never seen another member of his species. Sent to Earth, he is a stranger who must learn what it is to be a man. But his own beliefs and his powers far exceed the limits of humankind, and as he teaches them about grokking and water-sharing, he also inspires a transformation that will alter Earth's inhabitants forever...

  • Stranger In a Strange Land - full version is better than ever

    This book is published from the original Heinlein manuscript, not the edited-down one that was available in the 1960s and 70s. I am happy to read an old friend, bigger and better than ever. There are lots of good topics for thought, and an entertaining story. This book affected American culture - a seminal mind-stretcher.

  • Re-Read in Full Edition

    I read the original when it came out in the 60s...It was an important statement then...Now after a full life, it strikes me as very disappointing that so little has improved. Books have been written and movies made plus education, constant news and documentaries, but we have learned nothing... This was one of the books that hinted at the eventual perfectibility of man..It is even better uncut,,,But sadly the 60s generation that ate this up has accomplished little. We have Covid, Trump, Putin, Xi, Kim, Erdogan, Bolsonaro, African tribalism, Afghanistan and Syria pointing to obvious catastrophic societal bankruptcy...The world is considerably more lost and people even dumber...With Russia at Ukraine's throat, we stare into a new 1962 like crisis all over again. Climate change has proven ...
