Moon Land
Robert Heinlein (1907-1988) was one of the most popular and also one of the most controversial of science fiction writers. Although he consistently challenged social mores and questioned the repressive nature of society, he was by no means a one-note author. His novel Starship Troopers, for example, received great criticism for glamorizing the militarism and, according to some, promoting fascism (an unfounded, but politically loaded charge). Conversely, Stranger in a Strange Land foresaw many aspects of the free love movement and late 1960s counterculture, leading to accusations that Heinlein undermined traditional moral values and led young readers into dissolute lifestyles.
