It's a pretty influential work of early science fiction. Mind you, it's been like 30 years since I read any Heinlein. Not sure I'd feel the same way about his stuff now as late teen me did, but the many books of his I read definitely shaped a lot of my philosophy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jAkplrZci0 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) LOL. That's great. Yeah, it really doesn't hold up. I think a lot of my enjoyment of Heinlein came from being a horny teen with a Christian upbringing seeing a different take on sexuality. Stranger in a Strange Land was one of the last of his I read and not my favourite. The Number of The Beast was the first one of his I read.
