I’m just gonna pull from the Wikipedia summary, which I think speaks for itself:
The group finds that it has not been transported to another world, but instead is in the distant future of their own world. A decadent but technologically advanced black culture keeps either uneducated or castrated white people as slaves. Sexual slavery and cannibalism are widespread and generally accepted. Adolescent girls are sexually exploited as “bedwarmers” by their owners. Other children are bred on ranches for consumption and slaughtered during puberty (when their flesh is considered particularly tasty) or sometimes earlier.
Is Heinlein the most overrated writer ever? Starship Troopers is a lengthy diatribe on why spanking is good.
For people who may think this is a bit, the novel literally has the protagonist recounting a lecture from high school wherein his teacher explained that hooligans lead to a societal decline during the 20th(?) century because not enough people were willing to spank their kids
“Clearly this is great literature, it’s because Heinlein breaks all the rules, he’s writing page after page about spanking on purpose!” — science fiction aficionados 🤓
I write science fiction while being aware that so much of this genre is garbage.
One thing I do kind of like about CHUD writers is that they will tie every single bad thing in existence back to whatever personal bugbear they’re freaking out about at that moment.
Also has Johnny Rico explain how Marxism bad because mud pies
Ray Bradbury is IMO also overrated.
The US does have some good scifi writers, but a lot of the ones pushed as greats are not good.
Asimov my beloved
Asimov took whatever points from his understanding women stat and put them in his knowing Orwell was a fucking hack stat
You’re not wrong but also man writing women in the 60s is not expected to be real progressive.
