About this ebook
A young man from Mars comes to Earth & must learn our strange ways. One of the greatest science fiction novels ever published, Stranger in a Strange Land's original manuscript had 50,000 words cut. Now they have been reinstated for this special 30th anniversary edition. A Mars-born earthling arrives on this planet for the first time as an adult, and the sensation he creates teaches Earth some unforgettable lessons. "A brilliant mind-bender".--Kurt Vonnegut.

Michael, the sole survivor of the first manned mission to Mars, returns to Earth as a true outsider. His innocence and lack of understanding of human society are juxtaposed with his immense power, both financial and spiritual. As the legal heir to a vast fortune and the de facto owner of Mars, Michael’s arrival brings upheaval and challenges to the world’s established norms.

For some reason there are two versions of this book for sale and the only difference I can tell is that this one has terrible formatting. I highly recommend buying the other version of this book.

Often verbose, occasionally terrifying, very dated and completely engrossing; "profound" is the best word that comes to mind, I think. If this hasn't been optioned for a movie, why on Mars not?
