THIS ALIEN EARTH, FIRST BOOK CLUB EDITION
As Earth reels from a third world war, Martian-raised human Mike Smith is terrified of the Earthlings; their irrationality, their jealousy, and their puritanical hang-ups make no sense. In this first book club edition (C23 gutter code) of Robert Heinlein's Hugo Award-winning masterpiece, Mars feels less alien than Earth ever could. Heinlein's masterpiece exploded into the free-love environment of the 1960s and was immediately seized as a counterculture classic, with Mike's Martian philosophy speaking to hippies through their communal living in the nude.
