一个被火星人养大的人类孤儿回到了地球，但地球的一切都让他感到陌生、可笑，甚至荒谬。
他不理解财富、婚姻、道德、信仰的存在，反复思索“做人”的意义。
当人类还沉溺于文明社会的规训时，这位火星来客终于领悟：地球文明的每一步都错了。他决意带领人类以全新的生命形式走向宇宙。
有些人认定《异乡异客》是真正的理想社会的蓝图，在1960年代这些人尝试按照书中的描述建立乌托邦，海因菜因对此表示抗议并回复道：“《异乡异容》是邀请你思考，而不是邀请你相信。”
罗伯特·海因莱因（Robert A.Heinlein 1907—1988）
与阿西莫夫、克拉克并称为“20世纪科幻三巨头”，被视为硬科幻的先驱和科幻出版门类的确立者。
海因莱因一生荣誉无数，仅雨果奖就获得11次。他也是美国科幻奇幻作家协会终身
大师奖的首位得主，被誉为“美国现代科幻小说之父”。
海因莱因不仅是了不起的科幻开拓者，也是了不起的科幻预言家，从二战的走向、冷
战的爆发，到互联网、手机的出现，都被他预言成真。
八十多年来，海因莱因几乎是所有科幻和科学工作者的偶像。阿西莫夫曾公开推崇海因莱因；阿波罗15号宇航员在月球上致敬海因莱因；埃隆·马斯克将海因莱因的作品视为自己事业的灵感来源。
《异乡异客》是海因莱因的封神之作，被誉为“嬉皮士的精神本源”。它是首本登上《纽约时报》热销榜的科幻小说，世界销量近千万册。从《异乡异客》开始，科幻才正式进入主流文学的视野。本书展现了1960年代的嬉皮士文化，深刻影响了美国一代人的思想。书中的火星语“Grok”甚至入选牛津词典。
A human orphan raised by Martians returns to Earth, but everything about it feels strange, ridiculous, and even ridiculous.
He did not understand the existence of wealth, marriage, morality, and faith, and repeatedly pondered the meaning of "being human."
While human beings are still addicted to the discipline of civilized society, the visitor to Mars finally realized that Earth civilization has been wrong every step. He was determined to take humanity out into the universe as a whole new form of life.
Hein protested against attempts in the 1960s by those who saw Stranger in a Strange Land as a blueprint for a truly ideal society, replying: "Stranger in a Strange Land is an invitation to think, not to believe."
Robert A.Heinlein (1907-1988)
Together with Asimov and Clark, it is known as the "three giants of science fiction in the 20th century", and is regarded as the pioneer of hard science fiction and the establishment of science fiction publishing categories.
Heinlein received numerous honors throughout his life, including 11 Hugo Awards. He was also a lifetime member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America
The first winner of the Grand Master Award is known as the "father of modern American science fiction".
Heinlein is not only a great science fiction pioneer, but also a great science fiction prophet, from the World War II to the cold
The outbreak of war, to the Internet, the emergence of mobile phones, are his predictions come true.
For more than 80 years, Heinlein has been the idol of almost all science fiction and science workers. Asimov was an outspoken admirer of Heinlein; Apollo 15 astronauts salute Heinlein on the moon; Elon Musk has cited Heinlein's work as an inspiration for his career.
"Stranger in a Strange Land" is Heinlein's canonization work, known as "the spiritual origin of hippies". It was the first science fiction novel to hit the New York Times bestseller list and has sold nearly 10 million copies worldwide. Since Stranger in a Strange Land, science fiction has officially entered the field of vision of mainstream literature. The book presents the hippie culture of the 1960s, which profoundly influenced the thinking of a generation of Americans. The Martian word "Grok" was even included in the Oxford Dictionary.
