Double Star by Robert A. Heinlein5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() I recently read Heinlein’s Double Star, which won the Hugo Award in 1956. (You can read my post on it at my old blog, Mirabile Dictu.) It actually influenced the counterculture philosophy of the ’60s. It is literally a cult classic, in the sense that the hero, Valentine Michael Smith, a man from Mars, founds a church/cult on Earth based on a ’60s-style philosophy of brotherhood and free love. Heinlein’s 1961 cult classic Stranger in a Strange Land–the first SF book to make The New York Times best-seller list. ![]() I tend to stick to SF classics by award-winning writers like Doris Lessing, Pat Murphy, William Gibson, and Gene Wolfe. Over the years, I have have enjoyed many SF novels. I was 20 when a friend introduced me to Ursula K. ![]()
