Armor, by John Steakley, was better, but it's among the top 3 books about power armor wearing soldiers that I've read (which is no small number).

power armor is beside the point

It's the only reason to post it on /k/ unless you want to talk about the spaceships or the time-slowing tech, the major part of the book was sex/societal evolution and that belongs on /lit/.

about its war

Posting a book about war on a video game board?

>>28265311
That's barely any portion of the book, frankly.

>a video game board?
Where do you think we are?

>>28265336
I think they had four legged battle buddies in it.

>>28265311
Not really.
As the other anon said it's about societal change. It has war as a way to drive the plot.

>>28265347
Pretty sure that you're thinking of the Psydog units in Starship Troopers.

they were cyber not psi

Start off with Heinlein, then transition to Haldeman & Scalzi.
They're all pretty fucking great writers.

>>28265383
Neither, actually. Gene-modded dog-like creatures.

Or we could recommend good scifi authors.

>Losing your neo on Klandathu after it suicided just looking at a bug.
Kill 'em all ;_;

>Everyone turns into a homo and white people go extinct.
Sounds like accurate prediction of where society is going.

It's one of my favorites. A good companion/contrast to Starship Troopers.
