An interview with Verhoven indicated, to me, that he changed the source material to try to make a point about fascism. Don't get me wrong, Verhoven is a total libtard, but he's made some compelling sci-fi that gets overlooked as campy or whatever by people that don't look a little deeper. Talk to anyone with a below average IQ about RoboCop or Starship Troopers.
Robocop is one of my favorite movies ever. The only detail it's off with is set in Detroit all the criminals should look like 80% of Detroit's population, but I figure if they went for that it never would have been made. But the satire, the action and the story all work great.
Verhoeven from an interview "I stopped after two chapters because it was so boring... It is really quite a bad book. I asked Ed Neumeier to tell me the story because I just couldn't read the thing. It's a very right-wing book. And with the movie we tried, and I think at least partially succeeded, in commenting on that at the same time."
