Fantasy & SciFi
Stranger in a Strange Land is the epic saga of an earthling, Valentine Michael Smith, born and educated on Mars, who arrives on our planet with “psi” powers—telepathy, clairvoyance, precognition, telekinesis, teleportation, pyrolysis, and the ability to take control of the minds of others—and complete innocence regarding the mores of man.
After his tutelage under a surrogate father figure, Valentine begins his transformation into a kind of messiah. His exceptional abilities lead him to become many things to many people: freak, scam artist, media commodity, searcher, free love pioneer, neon evangelist, and martyr.
Heinlein won his second Hugo Award for this novel, sometimes called his “divine comedy” and often called his masterpiece. This Blackstone audiobook is the “as published” version, read from an Ace paperback published in 1987. The full, uncut text was not made available until 1991.

Heinlein skriver bra och har alltid något att säga. Tyvärr är det inte alltid så intressant att lyssna på. Precis som alla andra böcker jag läst av honom är sci-fi'n stadigt underbyggd och intressant, men används mest som en inramning som snabbt glöms bort i ändlösa diskussioner om det politiska och samhälleliga klimatet i framtiden (dvs. 60-talets USA fast med flygande bilar). Inte en dålig bok. Om du är mer intresserad av scifi som egentligen diskuterar 60-talets USA rekomenderar jag Philip K. Dick eller Ursula K Le Guin som komplement till Heinlein, och om du är mer intresserad av faktisk Science Fiction, rekommenderar jag snudd på vad som helst annat.

Inte riktigt min kopp te men det fanns några guldkorn där. Mer nyfiken på författaren och hans livshistoria efter att ha lyssnat på detta.

Different type of sci-fi compared to the general type of sci-fi, nice new perspectives! I do not grok in full just yet, waiting I am.
