Stranger in a Strange Land is a science fiction novel by American author Robert A. Heinlein. The story tells the life of Valentine Michael Smith, a human raised on Mars who comes to Earth and transforms terrestrial culture. Considered a controversial and iconoclastic work, the novel explores themes of freedom, religion and sexuality, becoming a reference of the counterculture of the 60s.
Robert Anson Heinlein was an American science fiction author, engineer, and naval officer. Sometimes called the "dean of science fiction writers", he was among the first to emphasize scientific accuracy in his fiction and was thus a pioneer of the subgenre of hard science fiction. His published works, both fiction and non-fiction, express admiration for competence and emphasize the value of critical thinking. His plots often presented provocative situations which challenged conventional social mores. His work continues to have an influence on the science fiction genre and on modern culture more generally.
