I've read this book 1 time and given it an average score of 4 (out of 4).

This is book #1 in the Old Man's War series.

In grade school, I was marked down on a short writing assignment because I spent the whole time describing how a space desk/computer would work. Scalzi clearly had no such discouragement and spends a lot of time describing those systems. It's a good time though, and his designs are well thought out. Builds its world well and grapples with some of its ethical questions.
