Book review

The Forever War

By Floris WolswijkPublished Edited 1 min read
From the article

A good science-fiction story about a war in space with another species that lasts far too long. It explores how the world changes in waves and how soldiers become different from civilians, a contrast that still feels relevant.

The Forever War – Joe Haldeman

A good science-fiction story about a war in space with another species that lasts far too long. It explores how the world changes in waves and how soldiers become different from civilians, a contrast that still feels relevant. I also found the ideas about homosexuality and heterosexuality interesting.

Not the best book ever for me, but I think it might be one of the first to use time-dilation in this way to let the characters move forward through time so elegantly.
