Heinlein. He far from unknown, but he should get even more recognition. Stranger in a strange Land is a deeply philosophical book wrapped in a scifi page turner.
Philip K. Dick is also not as famous as he should be. In particular with The Man in the high Castle, pure poetry!
I just read that Stranger In A Strange Land's original 800 page version was recovered by Mrs. Heinlein and published in 1991 - I'll have to go find a copy! It's one of my top books.
Wow, that’s great news! Thanks for sharing! I read my father’s version, so definitely older than 1991.
I just started reading The Moon is a harsh Mistress, I’m hope it keeps up with the hype.
