honestly that was more or less teenage me's takeaway yeah (sub "playing a videogame" w "being good at computers")
i feel like a lot of silicon valley nonsense is taking ender's game and cory doctorow's fiction writing too seriously
Exceptionally fair. It’s been a hot minute since I read it in high school. I just remember taking away that too much pressure cracks the strongest minds, and that war makes everyone monsters.
and yet this is still less destructive than it was for Orson Scott Card
I remember hating this book when I read it in middle school, though mainly it was along the lines of "why do they want me to sympathize with Ender because he's too good at killing? what?"
