The Forever War, by Joe Haldeman. Excellent, but it suffers from the "year 2000" problem, where 2000 seemed so futuristic in the '70s.

great book. I got a kick out of how technology changed so quickly from their perspective because of relativity and space travel.

I don't remember the "year 2000" problem, but I read it in the 80's so 2000 was still a little over a decade away.
