Stranger in a Strange Land is an influential 1961 novel by Robert A. Heinlein, which won a Hugo Award. Though written well before The '60s, it was finally published in 1961note simultaneously with the legalization of the birth control pill, and just before the beginnings of what would eventually become the hippie movement because "the time was right". As a result, it had a huge, huge influence on the sexual and social revolution that followed. Two versions exist: the version originally published in 1961, heavily edited (more for length than for content) by Heinlein himself, and the 1991 "Uncut Original Manuscript" Edition, released posthumously. Rather, interestingly, Heinlein personally considered the abridged version of the novel as superior.The protagonist, Valentine Michael Smith, is raised on Mars by Starfish Aliens and travels to Earth where he learns how to be human, then rejects the irrationality of his warlike human ancestors and starts (what looks like, but isn't) a peace-and-love cult.This book is the source of the word 'grok', which indicates a complete understanding of a person or idea, like Kant's Noumenon. As with A Clockwork Orange, Heinlein's new word spread into pockets of popular culture, often to the point that those using it do not recognize its provenance.The book has never been out of print.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Coming as early as it did, the book even presages some weirdness (perhaps created it), but a lot of it was drawn directly from Heinlein's observations. The Fosterites are a combination of Scientology, Mormonism, and Southern Baptists (mega-churches wouldn't be a thing for decades). A politician with an astrologer? That was Reagan, even back then. Mike's church combined Scientology (again) with pyramid scams and secret societies, as well as Heinlein's own love of nudity.

Religion of Evil: The Fosterites, who are exploitative and at times violent. Not all of them are this way, but enough to enable to them to be roused to full-on mob hysteria against Mike's religion.

 Stranger in a Strange Land / int_22071825
comment
I'm a Humanitarian: Standard practice on Mars is to eat the dead, which squicks out a few characters when Michael talks about doing the same and refers to dead humans as "food". It's mostly symbolic, though—Martians don't feel any sentimental attachment to corpses because they believe that the body is just a vessel for the soul. Michael's cult takes up this practice as well, though this may be entirely symbolic (like the Lord's Supper for Christians). Or not.

Bizarre Alien Psychology: The Martians are reported to have a very different way of thinking than us, including the concept of "grokking" something: to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed, to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience.

Future Society, Present Values: Although far from a free love utopia, open relationships are considerably more acceptable today than they were in Heinlein's time, as well as homosexuality. Women are also generally not secretaries and "girls" who enjoy being patronized.

comment
Starfish Aliens: The exact physical form of Martians is never described, but it's clear they are completely unlike humans in appearance, behaviour and culture. Adults (who are all male) are likened to large ice ships at full mast, as the nearest human means of comprehending them, and move slowly. Nymphs (juveniles, who are all female and become male after fertilization) are like fat furry spheres.

Hollywood Law: Invoked as a bit of Heinlein's Author Appeal. Valentine Michael Smith ends up owner of Mars thanks to his descent from the Envoy crew and by right of discovery, a contract enacting common property, and the fact he was the sole surviving descendant of the crew. On top of that, he was also legally the heir to three of the colonists as their biological son... because two of them were married and one of them had an affair. One state didn't care who the biological parents were and another didn't care about marital status.

Greedy Televangelist: This work contrasts two types of religions. One, the Fosterites, are a violent sect that uses lavish churches and beams their fundraising message via television into the homes of their followers. The other, the Church of All Planets, is led by a human male named Michael Smith who was born and raised on Mars by Martians. He bases his faith on the alien philosophy he was taught, and his simple creed "thou art God" doesn't sit at all well with the Fosterites.

Spock Speak: Mike catches up on Earth history by reading the Encyclopedia Britannica, among other things, and talks like he's reading from a legal contract at some points. This is early on, when his grasp of English and Earth concepts is incomplete; when he doesn't know something, he sticks to the books he's read, and he has an eidetic memory.

Not Even Bothering with the Accent: In-universe version; Mike teaches other members of his nest Martian. At one point, he mentions that one member has a great grasp of the language but for reasons unfathomable even to Mike (who is at this point nearly omniscient), he manages to speak Martian with a Bronx accent.

Language of Magic: When Mike attempts to explain his astonishing Psychic Powers to Jubal, he realizes that English lacks the necessary concepts, so later in the story he starts teaching people Martian. Sure enough, it turns out that all humans can do these things, but only by first teaching themselves the mental framework that goes along with speaking the Martian language.

Cannot Tell a Lie: Anne is a Fair Witness, a legal consultant who has undergone intensive training to observe and recall events completely impartially.

Indeed, Fair Witnesses are trained to only report on certain facts: for exemple, Anne wouldn't even say one meteorological event has been caused by clouds being lightened by the sun, since another source of light could have caused this.

I Want My Jetpack: There are aircars, including self-driving ones, all the way through the book. (Ben Caxton is kidnapped in a robot cab.) Elevators have been replaced by antigravity bounce tubes. Jill reads books on "spools" that project the words onto a surface and turn themselves off when you put them down. TV is now 3D stereovision, watched via a "tank", but is otherwise as annoying as ever. By the time somebody uses a phone, you expect it to be a Video Phone, and it is. Of all this technology, the only one we've surpassed is the phones.

Humanity on Trial
 Stranger in a Strange Land / int_bffc7851
comment
Humanity on Trial: Mike, a human raised by Martians, is sent back to Earth to grok humans and gather that information for the Martians. Humanity is never aware they're on trial, nor are the reasons made clear (though it's closest to the "dangerous neighbor" rationale), and Mike isn't fully aware himself, though some of his friends suspect something. It's revealed that the Martians already destroyed the original fifth planet and its inhabitants, creating the Asteroid Belt and making Jupiter the new fifth planet. Luckily Martians can take hundreds of years to make such a big decision, by which time humanity (with Mike's help) may be too powerful to destroy.

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: A young lady fan of Jubal's slips into bed with him; after he orders her out, she refuses to leave and simply lists all the reasons she wants to sleep with him, until he "gives in to the inevitable". Now, for the "rape" element, picture this scene the other way around. We dare you.

Church of Happyology
 Stranger in a Strange Land / int_c69902e7
comment
Church of Happyology: While it obviously has a televangelist aspect, some think that Smith's religion also has aspects of Scientology. Heinlein and Hubbard were friends and reputedly entered into a competition to see whose fake religion would catch on best. Within the story, at least, Smith deliberately borrows from a televangelist religion as it was the ideal way to get his message across, but he's only using religion as a mask to deliver the true message and make it more palatable. What's even more interesting is that there really is a higher order of existence, but none of the characters are aware of it. Other inspirations for the Fosterites are very likely Robert H. Schuller (with his lavish megachurch, syndicated TV program and "happy" message) and the Mormons (for their often-violent origin story and elaborate organizational structure).

Unusual Euphemism
 Stranger in a Strange Land / int_d848560f
comment
Unusual Euphemism: While "grok" has several meanings, one of them is definitely "fuck". In this, it works much the same way as the biblical "know", used as an expletive only by people who take Martian As A Second Language and either don't grok "grok" or use it as an example of Memetic Mutation. Mike uses several others: "discorporate" for "die", "nestling" for "children", etc., all due to his Martian upbringing.

But Not Too Gay: Gays are "confused" and "poor in-betweeners" who will "never be offered water" in this story. Heterosexuality is the standard. Jubal points out that men do share the "kiss of brotherhood" in the Church of All Worlds, but the man he's speaking to hastens to explain that it's "not a pansy gesture". Similarly, when she worked as a showgirl in Las Vegas, Jill is happy she can't see the other showgirls from Mike's eyes since she fear she might discover lesbian tendencies.

Martians: Although the members of the intelligent but very non-human native species of Mars mostly don't themselves appear in the book, their influence is found throughout the story. Having been raised by the Martians—and knowing their language—gives Mike (and eventually his followers) a very distinctive outlook on life, along with a wide range of psychic powers.

Dark Messiah/Übermensch: Michael is pretty nice compared to the examples on those pages, but he does conjure up Nietzsche's idea of a Dionysian worldview as opposed to Christianity's Apollonian one. The novel also contains the Fosterites (a direct inspiration for Michael's "church"), who are essentially a Dionysian Christian sect, as opposed to the usual Apollonian ways of such sects.

More than Three Dimensions: Used as a significant plot point. Michael Smith, a human born on Mars and raised by Martians, has the ability to send objects to an unknown fourth dimension that is "ninety degrees away from everything else". He disappears two government Mooks by sending them to this mysterious dimension. Later, when he establishes a new religion with a Free-Love Future as one of its central tenets, he uses as part of his show a little stunt in which he makes people's clothes disappear, sent to the fourth dimension.

Astrologer: Becky Vesey, who uses the stage name Alexandra Vesantnote a likely takeoff on Alexandra David-Néel and Annie Besant, two influential spiritual seekers whom Heinlein probably regarded as con artists. She mostly draws up astrological charts using her late husband's (book of) figures. Subverted in that these signs are the means through which she can use Michael's discipline.
