Description
Raised on Mars by Martian nannies, Valentine Michael Smith is a human who has never encountered another of his kind until he is sent to Earth. As a stranger in a strange land, he must navigate the complexities of human society and learn what it truly means to be a man. However, his unique Martian upbringing and burgeoning psychic abilities challenge Earth's established norms and religions, leading him to introduce concepts like 'grokking' and water-sharing. Smith's presence ignites a profound transformation, altering humanity's understanding of itself and its place in the universe.
