I'd agree with that. It's almost ridiculous to give them the same title. They both kind of use the interstellar war as a backdrop for their authors' very different social commentaries.
Compare to Bladerunner, which (a) does not have the same title as the book, and (b) while stylistically entirely different, is still ultimately about the same thing: what is it to be human?
