Reply to comment by RbrCanty in TIL The famous "rods from god" concept of a space-based weapons system of orbiting tungsten rods was developed by science fiction writer Jerry Pournelle. by BitterFuture

One of my all time favourite novels. I re-read it last week. So much great stuff in that book, I still think it could be updated into the modern era and work as a 10 episode series.

I read it when it first came out, but it's one of those books that the concepts and plot points have stuck with me over the years. Glad you enjoyed it as much.
