Starship Troopers by Robert Heinlein:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
This novel is really not what you would expect, if you saw the movie first. This book is primarily about the individual and society, and what kind of activities make a person exceptional. But yes, there are bugs and - best of all - powered suits to play in.
(Power Suit from 'Starship Troopers' by Robert Heinlein)
