Another book that causes the reader to sit back and wonder if the protagonist (Ender Wiggin) is anything like themselvesâ¦even though we're certainly not the super-genius Ender was bred to be, we've all felt alone and isolated at times, the way he does. Combine this with a hard military setting influenced by Heinlein's Starship Troopers, and a prophetic vision of the way "anonymous" personalities on the Internet are affecting our opinions and beginning to have an affect on our society as a whole; it all adds up to an unforgettable classic that will surely be remembered fifty, one hundred, and more years from now.
