As a massive Heinlein fan I’ll say Starship Troopers because I think that’s a fascinating discussion about what you owe your country or the price of citizenship. Since Heinlein is my favorite author I’ll pick another one as well.. A Scanner Darkly by Philip K Dick. I know he had drug issues and this book is an interesting look at the cycle of drugs and addiction and the ending was tragic but also very realistic. I like that the movie included his tribute at the end.

Vonnegut also invented prions which decades later won some scientist a Nobel prize in Medicine.
i think Vonnegut was probably the best living American author of my lifetime, the second half of the twentieth century. It was a privilege to share it with him; he is missed.
