The Light Brigade

Nominated for a 2020 Hugo Award, this novel was a departure for me. It's an intense military SF novel with time travel thrown in. Unlike The Forever War, which had relativistic time dilation, or Starship Troopers, which was a love letter to militaristic society, this book was a basic "War is Hell" story in a world of corporate control. Governments no longer run countries. There are just six mega-corporations that control everything. The armies are corporate controlled and the war is against the democratically governed Mars emigrants from Earth who have no corporate rule. It takes late-stage capitalism to its extreme and explores the extent to which it will go to preserve itself.
