“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.
If you want to read an exceptionally good work of military sci-fi that no one else but me appears to have ever read, try "We All Died At Breakaway Station".
