Epic High Five posted:I don't think he ever saw the military as an issue, like in Starship Troopers it's literally "oh and the military is the ultimate arbiter of who is a citizen and who isn't and thus wields ultimate power over all things, but they don't abuse that power and never will so it's not a problem. Moving along..." I need to give Stranger in a Strange Land and Moon is a Harsh Mistress a read. I read Starship Troopers in high school and let's say the politics rubbed me the wrong way and I have gone further to left since then, but he does have his admires. side_burned has issued a correction as of 00:35 on Jul 22, 2019 |

Epic High Five posted:haven't read stranger but if you thought the politics parts of Starship Troopers were bad you'll loving hate MiaHM, it's very slightly more coherent but the oomph is taken out of every single critical event because of Orson Scott Card levels of Mary Sue reliance I guess it is better to say I am puzzled by Hieland's reputation. Everything I have read and heard about says reactionary dipshit but his work is fantastic if you ignore his politics and fondness for teenage girls and only read these books. That is to say he sounds like and awful writer and person but at the same time some many people will passionately defend the work. Edit: I did a Google image search on Childhood's End
