为什么值得读
- 海因莱因代表作，对战争与军人视角刻画深刻
- 探讨唯有付出代价的事物才具有真正的价值
- 构想政治管理者的选拔资格与理性社会机制
Starship Troopers 的背景设定在地球的 Terran Federation 与来自 Klendathu 的 Arachnids（被称为“The Bugs”）之间的一场星际战争中。小说以 Juan Rico 的一系列倒叙展开叙述，是 Heinlein 少数以此种方式构思的作品之一。故事开篇，Rico 身处轻型护卫舰 Rodger Young 上，即将对 Arachnids 的盟友“Skinnies”的星球展开突袭。我们得知他是 Terran Federation 旗下 Mobile Infantry 的一名 cap(sule) trooper。这次突袭本身是小说中为数不多的实战场景之一

……“politician”（政客）其实可以看作一个合成词：political technician（政治技术员）。所以把这个界限划清楚，责任在我们：在我们的这些政治技术员里，到底谁才真正有资格领导？海因莱因的《星船伞兵》（Starship Troopers）思路是对的。我真希望世界上哪怕有一个国家能把它付诸实践。也许这会引发一连串的理性效应，未来的战争说不定就彻底打不起来了。
…'politician' can be thought of as a portmanteau: political technician. So the responsibility is on us to enforce this distinction: who among our political technicians is actually qualified to lead? Heinlein's Starship Troopers had the right idea. I wish just one nation in the world would implement it. Maybe it would lead to a cascade of rationality, and future wars would become impossible as a result.
除了《星船伞兵》（我觉得大家读出来的意思都跟海因莱因的本意不一样），我唯一还会推荐的海因莱因作品就是《异乡异客》（Stranger in a Strange Land）了。
The only other Heinlein book I would recommend beside Starship Troopers (which everyone reads different than Heinlein intended I guess) is "Stranger in a Strange Land".
……绝对排第一。大家之所以由着社交媒体烂成一坨狗屎，是因为他们根本没有付出什么投入。过去没花他们一分钱，以后也不用花一分钱，所以它毫无价值。《星船伞兵》（不管是书还是电影）都说到了点子上……“白给的东西没有价值。”
…number one by far. People are willing to let social media turn into a shitshow because they're not invested. It didn't cost them anything and it doesn't continue to cost them anything, so it has no value. Starship Troopers (both the book and the movie) hit the nail on the head... "Something given has no value."
我是海因莱因的铁粉。强烈建议你读读他的另外两部名作，《星船伞兵》和《异乡异客》。读完之后你可以再去深挖他的其他书目，但我觉得这三本是必读的。我最近刚读完阿尔卡季和鲍里斯写的《路边野餐》……
I'm a big Heinlein Fan. I strongly recommend you read his other big famous works, "Starship Troopers" and "Stranger in a Strange Land." After that you can dig deeper into his bibliography, but I'd consider those three to be essential reading. I recently finished "Roadside Picnic" by Arkady and Boris…
……更多畅销书和超小众的书。虽然全都是围绕打仗展开的，但能让你深入了解海军陆战队：史蒂文·普雷斯菲尔德的《火之门：温泉关战役史诗小说》、罗伯特·A·海因莱因的《星船伞兵》、奥森·斯科特·卡德的《安德的游戏》、恩斯特·克莱恩的《头号玩家》、P.W. 辛格与奥古斯特·科尔的《幽灵舰队：下一场世界大战小说》、迈克尔·沙拉的《杀手天使：经典小说》……
…more popular titles and super niche books. It's all focused on war-fighting, but it gives a great look into the Marines: GATES OF FIRE: AN EPIC NOVEL OF THE BATTLE OF THERMOPYLAE by Steven Pressfield STARSHIP TROOPERS by Robert A. Heinlein ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card READY PLAYER ONE by Ernest Cline GHOST FLEET: A NOVEL OF THE NEXT WORLD WAR by P. W. Singer; August Cole THE KILLER ANGELS: THE CLASSIC NOVEL…
其实海因莱因几十年前在《星船伞兵》里就已经把需要的东西描述得很到位了。我们现在当然还没做到那一步，但随着边缘计算（edge compute）越来越快，总会实现的。> 猛地一跳，装甲的喷气装置随即启动，放大装甲腿部“肌肉”的……
Actually what's needed was outlined very nicely in Starship Troopers by Heinlein many decades ago. We're not there yet of course but with faster and faster edge compute, it will get there. > Jump really hard and the suit’s jets cut in, amplifying what the suit’s leg “muscles”…
