Starship Troopers
Double Star
Stranger in a Strange Land
Beyond This Horizon
Farmer in the Sky
Those are his other Hugo and Retro-Hugo winners.
I’d also add Red Planet, as Stranger is essential a prequel written later for a more mature audience. RP gives insight into what’s going on with the Martians off-stage in Stranger.

Here's a book by an author with whom I'm trading links this week.
Get your free copy of Girl of Flesh and Metal by Alicia Ellis, the first novel in the Flesh and Metal trilogy.
A devastating accident. An artificially intelligent prosthetic that makes her sleepwalk… A series of murders.
Lena hates her parents’ tech company. The world worships each cutting-edge CyberCorp release, but Lena has her doubts. Machines that think for themselves? She doesn’t trust them… So when a car accident lands her with the company’s first cybernetic arm, she’s pissed.
A glitch in the arm’s artificial intelligence makes her sleepwalk. Meanwhile, children of CyberCorp employees start dying in their beds, and thanks to her unwanted nighttime strolls, Lena has no alibi.
Is she a target? A suspect? Lena literally can't sleep at night until she proves her innocence—or her guilt.
Marissa Meyer’s Cinder meets Netflix’s Black Mirror in this YA sci-fi murder mystery with a twisty ending you won't forget.
Don't miss the first self-published book ever to make the American Library Association’s LITA Excellence in Children’s and Young Adult Science Fiction Notable Lists.

One of the biggest mysteries of the universe is what exactly preceded it.
Science fiction has explored this idea, of course.
In addition, current theory and observation present excellent material for new stories unpacking the implications of what we know (and what we don't...)
