Nebula Award Best Novel Winner
Forever Peace
by Joe Haldeman
Summary
In a future where soldiers remotely operate robotic war machines called soldierboys through neural links, physicist and part time soldier Julian Class discovers a scientific finding that could either end humanity or end war forever. As he and his colleagues grapple with that knowledge, they confront the question of whether human violence can be cured. Haldeman returns to themes of war, technology, and moral responsibility that defined his earlier work.
