    Stranger in a Strange Land by Heinlein.

    Really good sci-fi, and written by a former military officer who saw the hippy movement coming, with a “Mary Sue” stand in whose entire point is how an older person doesn’t have to understand progress, just simply let it happen instead of enforcing their own norms/morals on future generations.

    The only depressing part is we’re still fighting for the same changes 60 years after the book was written. But the good news is it means the book is still relevant I guess.
