Like, Ender's brother completely took over the world through posting on the Internet. Orson Scott Card predicted Trump so far out.

Lastgirl posted:pizza hut bookclubs were a thing in the 90s so idk if enders game was on the list fer tha P sure book it was for lower-level reading than enders game. I recall reading Raise the Titanic in second grade and then being so bummed that it didn't count for a star on that holographic pin that my kindly old grandmotherly teacher went to pizza hut and got me a pizza herself.  Mrs Stanley you were literally the best teacher a kid could have

ex post facho posted:can you imagine the level of burns and cefte-level dismantlings needed to take over the world I mean, it's possible Like 50 years from now when Twitter and Facebook have completely metastasized and auto-translation has advanced to the point where nuance is preserved, and the human population has collapsed to half of what it is today because of climate change which consequently makes messages more and more meaningful since you're reaching proportionally more people with each outreach

Enders Shadow was the first book i remember being viscerally grossed out by that scene where Bean just kind of hangs back and watches the boss of his gang get murdered by another kid while thinking "heh heh stupid bitch shoulda listened to me" did not exactly cast the character in a good light, and yet the reader is meant to applaud him for being so darn smart
