\n\n

Heinlein wrote what amounted to military propaganda. Picture Heinlein as the teacher with the missing arm.

\n\n Verhoven Dislikes Militarism and Fascism \n\n

Not a surprise for someone who grew up in Nazi-occupied Holland. He thought the book was disgusting and wouldn\u2019t finish reading it - had someone else tell him what happened.

\n\n Society at Constant War \n\n

Propaganda. Othering. Resources all in to the military-industrial complex. Militarism. Fascism.

\n\n Insectoid Aliens and Intelligence \n\n

Hive minds. Brain straws. Pheromone communication. Intelligent bugs. Higher-oxygen atmosphere.

\n\n Future Tech \n\n

Exo-suits, insterstellar travel, shooting projectiles across the galaxy. Drones? Where are the drones?

\n\n Gender Equality \n\n

Exo-suits, from the book, would close the gap for war purposes. Co-ed showers. Norway and Israeli conscripting women.
