Groundbreaking! This is the first word that pops into my head to describe Ender’s Game, which is part character study, part social commentary and all thought-provoking science fiction.

Written in 1977 by Orson Scott Card, the book gave its initial readers a sneak peak into the Internet, video games, laser guns, and other forms of technology that have become commonplace today. Well, maybe not so much laser guns … but you get the idea.

Whether you’re a sci-fi fan or not, we expect you’ll be engaged in Card’s exploration of such themes as the corrupting influence of power, human rights, and man’s capacity for both good and evil. Not to mention man’s capacity to fight alien hordes with laser guns.
