>dude it's about how great fascism is lmao

pseuds make me want to die

Perhaps obligatory

Just tried to read a couple first pages of this book. Bored out of my mind. Loved the movie, but I won't bother with the book. Now I know it's not cyberpunk, but I'm on the hunt for good cyberpunk literature and honestly I don't know what I'm looking for because I didn't like Neuromancer either.

If there aren't any good cyberpunk literature, then recommend me some general science fiction literature.

Is it worth a read?

Just finished this book. What did I think of it?

Why is this regarded as a Fascist novel?

What was wrong with how the Terran Federations militaristic policies?

>Authors and commentators have stated that the manner in which the extraterrestrial beings are portrayed in Starship Troopers has racist aspects, arguing that the nicknames "Bugs" and "Skinnies" carry racial overtones. John Brunner compared them to calling Koreans "gooks".[80] Slusser argued that the term "Bugs" was an "abusive and biologically inaccurate" word that justified the violence against alien beings, a tendency which, according to Slusser, the book shared with other commercially successful science fiction.

So this is what makes a book controversial?

>no desert planet in the book
>no ridiculous suits
>stupid looking landing craft

Couldnt they have known what was in the fucking book before paying some artist to draw "space troops or som shit"

The simple one with the parachutes is much more aesthetic

OK. I know it wouldn't work but why?

Fascism is good

Was this book satire?

Alien hunting! Alien hunting!
