ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman follows the journey of William Mandella, a physics student drafted into an interstellar war against the Taurans. The novel explores the brutal realities of combat and the psychological toll it takes on soldiers. The narrative uses time dilation to show how soldiers age at a different rate than those on Earth, causing deep alienation. As the war drags on, Mandella and his fellow soldiers face endless training and deployment, questioning the purpose of their fight. The story delves into the dehumanizing aspects of military life, where soldiers are seen as disposable resources. It highlights how war impacts not only the soldiers but also society, as Earth becomes increasingly overpopulated and economically dependent on conflict. The novel examines the themes of the nature of warfare and its impact on humanity.
