An interesting book, to be sure, but it had some rather unrealistic outlooks on how family and life works out in the end. The protaganist's disconnection from "life back on planet earth" during his, what seems momentary to him but is generations to everyone else, war experience was a pretty good depiction of what it's like to live through highly traumatic events. Normies just can't have what those experiences were like explained to them. No amount of words conveys the experience, but the author does a great job depicting that reality. It's a book on the Vietnam War, really, but told in a futuristic way. Liked the read, disagree with some of the futuristic predictions.
