A Quote by Robert A. Heinlein
He had learned that close-held secrets could often be cracked by going all the way to the top and there making himself unbearably unpleasant. He knew that such twisting of the tiger's tail was dangerous, for he understood the psychopathology of great power.

Starship Troopers remains one of the most influential and debated works in the genre. Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel, Starship Troopers is renowned for its pioneering depiction of powered armor suits used in combat, a concept that inspired countless works of military science fiction. The most famous adaptationis Paul Verhoeven's 1997 film version.
Featured Article: The Most Stellar Sci-Fi Authors of All Time
Science fiction is a genre as diverse as you can imagine. There are stories that take place in deep space, often depicting teams exploring or running away from something; stories that focus on life at the most cellular level, such as a pandemic tale; and stories that take place in times that feel similar to our own. Depicting themes of existentialism, philosophy, hubris, and personal and historical trauma, sci-fi has a cadre of topics and moods.
