Like a lot of Heinleins books, Stranger in a Strange Land is good up until it starts straying into the authors 'free love' fetish at which point it becomes almost unreadable (though not nearly as bad as some of his other books. To Sail Beyond the Sunset is just spank material he got published).
I'd suggest Moon is a Harsh Mistress instead.

ST was intended as satire. Heinlein hated the military industrial complex.
I loved the book. The movie is decent, but COMPLETELY different.
Edit: I’m wrong

Along the lines, Armor is also good. I don't remember the author.
