The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is an excellent book. Everything else I've read from heinlein has either been tiresomely juvenile or completely revolting.

starship troopers the book is basically just military fellatio for 250 pages

they have similar systems on irl ships that are basically just gatling guns that fire a shitload of bullets into the air as a last line of defense.

the one the us uses is entirely automated and has no iff system so it uses internal rules to determine if anything it sees is a target and then fires without human approval. its basically a stationary version of that big-rear end killbot from Robocop

that seems like it would go wrong in hilarious ways

I always thought transhumanism was the belief that one day people will live in robot bodies and cyberspace and clouds of nanites and other things that aren't fundamentally biological

not sure what you'd call the belief that science will continue to find new ways to improve life, common sense I guess

i just want a robot arm that i can control with my mind. it doesn't have to be a good one. it doesnt need to replace one of my arms. it doesnt need to be attached to me.

yeah shaggar was right, second foundation was p good iirc

but what makes them great is that the books were written so far apart that you can see asimov go 'oh computers are a thing i should probably include them!' this also happens in dune but instead of including them herbert goes 'oh well they weren't needed because we went to war with the machines'

yeah theres a lot of stuff that trek just doesn't do even though it makes sense (beaming nukes, for example) cause its universe breaking other stuff is bad writing. the thing w/ the khan blood was that bones knew khan blood would work, he didn't know if anyone elses would.

plus he'd have to microwave-defrost one and they just never taste the same afterwards
