STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND

STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND
   Robert Heinlein's book, Stranger in a Strange Land, was one of the first SF novels to reach a mass market. In fact, it became such a cultural phenomenon in the 1960s that various religious cults attempted to live according to the precepts of the book's hero. And "Grok" buttons suddenly became hot items.In the spring of 1968, U.C.L.A. offered a course called "J.D. Salinger, Robert Heinlein, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and other PersonalGurus."Reported Heinlein, "I'm sure a square, I don't even know who the third guru is."Heinlein's bemusement at his popularity may have ended abruptly in 1970, when it was reported that the sociopathic killer Charles Manson had been influenced by Stranger in a Strange Land.
