What is the difference between the fiction writing of Robert A. Heinlein and Jonathan Carroll?
Robert A. Heinlein Robert Anson Heinlein ( ; July 7, 1907 – May 8, 1988) was an American science fiction writer. Often called the "dean of science fiction writers", his sometimes controversial works continue to have an influential effect on the genre, and on modern culture more generally.
Armor (novel) Armor is a military science fiction novel by John Steakley. It has some superficial similarities with Robert A. Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" (such as the military use of exoskeletons and insect-like alien enemies) but concentrates more on the psychological effects of violence on human beings rather than on the political aspect of the military, which was the focus of Heinlein's novel.
