Hey anonymous guy, I don't know if you'll get this, but Stranger in a Strange Land is generally considered a solipsistic book because Mike is a solipsist. He declares that Jubal is god (as well as himself, IIRC). Mike's "magic" occurs simply because he wills it so, for the world is exactly how one percieves it. In some of Heinlien's other works (Number of the Beast, for instance), we learn that Heinlein referrs to this as Pantheistic Solipsism. More interestingly, in that book, we meet a multiverse where each member of it generates their own world (the characters make a stop off in Oz, etc.). HTH — Xoder|✆ 20:20, Nov 6, 2004 (UTC)
