Stranger in a Strange Land
written by
Robert A. Heinlein
Date:
June 1, 1961
This Book refers to
Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare
Mike references this play and how Romeo "discorporated" too soon (Chapter 12)
Stranger in a Strange Land is a 1961 science fiction novel by American author Robert A. Heinlein. It tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who comes to Earth in early adulthood after being born on the planet Mars and raised by Martians. The novel explores his interaction with—and eventual transformation of—terrestrial culture. The title seems an allusion to the phrase in Exodus 2:22 (in the Biblical Book of Exodus).[1] According to Heinlein, the novel's working title was The Heretic. Several later editions of the book have promoted it as "The most famous Science Fiction Novel ever written".
