Stranger in a Strange Land, published in 1961 by Robert A. Heinlein, is a science-fiction novel about Valentine Michael Smith, a human born on Mars and raised by Martians who returns to Earth and challenges its social, religious, and sexual norms through Martian concepts such as “grokking” and water-sharing. The book won the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1962 and became a major cultural touchstone of the 1960s counterculture, influencing ideas about free love, communal living, and alternative spirituality; in 2012 the Library of Congress named it one of the 88 “Books that Shaped America.”
