The Forever War: The Best of the SF Masterworks

The way time warps for soldiers feels so visceral and personal. I'm curious if that was inspired by real physics or a narrative choice to heighten the story's stakes.

The depiction of command structures and soldier experiences felt very authentic, but also made me wonder about the author's views on military institutions.

The book's themes of endless conflict and technological warfare seem surprisingly prescient. I wonder what prompted the author to explore these ideas now.
