Any list that doesn’t include at least one Heinlien is bogus

I thought the same thing, but Heinlein was neither pretentious or long-winded. For Heinlein fans, I would suggest the Childe Cycle series by Gordon R. Dickson. Damn shame he died before finishing it.

“Have space suit- Will travel”
“The moon is a harsh mistress”
“Star ship Troopers”
“Friday”
“Job-A comedy of justice”

All Heinlein...All great.

“Starship troopers” is credited with the idea of the Iron Man suit (Marvel comics) and modern exo-skeletons.
But no one brings up that pro-military novel’s impact on technology, instead point to Star Trek for tricorders and cell-phones.
