Me neither. I'd like to think that given Peter's mastery at manipulation, he could easily succeed in this atmosphere, despite the fact that others discuss ideas similar in form. And welcome to Pweb, Karii! Although I'm not usually the one to greet newcomers. I think most would agree that the best bo...

Re: Ender's Game Re-Reaction
The comparison to bloggers is more often made, and some bloggers are quite influential -- though not "rule the world" influential. Valentine actually mentions that in EG when Peter is trying to convince her to help, saying something like "That's quite a jump. Such a big jump, in fact...

Something you might not have considered yet is that for the thousands of years of cultural distinction, the individual groups did not have an easy system of communication. Ships, horseback letters, etc. were all too slow to actually allow significant cultural combination. Would this happen several t...

Logistics of Commercial Interplanetary Instantaneous Flight
Mostly, the long title. How can this process become feasible? Jane is the only one able to send things Outside and back in, but she can only do it so quickly. For instance, the Lusitania Colony, as small as it was, couldn't get all its humans offworld in... a couple of weeks? Then, when that many pe...

Yes, they consciously know that they are killing, but I think what the TS is getting at is that they are tricked insofar as they are given (false) motives to fight in the war. Just because OSC wrote the book before our time doesn't mean that it doesn't/can't apply now. Jane says as much talking to H...

I'm not sure if I'm quite right, but I was under the impression that the Hegemon was the ruler of earth, had power to stop wars and stuff like that before the third invasion, and that the Polemarch commanded the International Fleet (b/c he's always involved in fleet affairs) while the Strategos comm...

Bugger Home Distance to Earth?
After rereading Ender's Shadow, I thought about how in both EG and ES, OSC took it for granted that the Bugger home world would be farthest away. This doesn't make any sense to me. If the human race were to expand, for instance, we would probably do it out spanning all directions from Earth. Even if...

Right. This is what I'm asking about. Say somebody decided to have an abortion. You now have a dead fetus, and nothing can undo what has been done. You can either use it for the advancement of science, or do nothing with it. On one hand, only good can come from it. On the other hand, nothing. You c...

Crazy Tom? A War of Gifts? I think it was Dink if my memory is correct. The book told the story of Zeck and Dink. Crazy Tom was mentioned briefly in the discussion of Santa, but I would hardly consider that a main character. Right. My bad. And fly did practically nothing of notice. except maybe wri...

BTW, who do you think among his toon leaders is... described most by OSC throughout all the books? My candidates would be Hot Soup, Crazy Tom or Vlad. Hot Soup cause he took over China and had that short story, Cheater, Crazy Tom from AWOG, or Vlad because of his aid to russia w/ achilles at the sta...

You guys arent' taking into account the fact that they have to eat.

What to read next?
I've read/heard all of the enderverse books. Now, what series/book should I read next by OSC?
I want to hear it from the experts.

I don't think the real commanders stay out on the front lines anymore... They could just stay somewhere safe and communicate plans. And with that, Ender wouldn't have the ability to gain the trust and respect of his soldiers. Not to mention he would not be the one training them, just the one directi...
