《安德的游戏》呼唤起一些理性的热情,那曾经是我们一直想要的自己么?——一个冷静面对所有挑战、按部就班、稳步上升、兵来将挡、将一步步胜利统统囊括于怀中的人类么? 以前认为要描写一个天才是很难很难的事。现在发觉完全不是这样可怕的。每个人都有成为天才的潜质,只要...
评分作者在“前言”中说到:他写这部小说,有意用了极浅显、直白的语言。人们为什么读小说?在他看来,晦涩难懂的文字让批评者有了饭碗,而普通人则去故事中需找相似的灵魂。 我想他太过强调这样一个讲述天才儿童如何拯救世界的故事能在普通人中引起的那种“啊,那不正是我所经历...

评分每个人都有自己yy的方向,而安德这个孩子,恰好和我的很接近。 按照上帝的意愿-应该每个人都是得上帝宠爱的,都是上帝的子民。存在即合理这种说法是积极的人生必备良药。我一直都指望不被重视和重视得到一个很好的平衡,可是,事实是,一旦重视,就一定会趋向于过度。 不被重...

Winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards
In order to develop a secure defense against a hostile alien race's next attack, government agencies breed child geniuses and train them as soldiers. A brilliant young boy, Andrew "Ender" Wiggin lives with his kind but distant parents, his sadistic brother Peter, and the person he loves more than anyone else, his sister Valentine. Peter and Valentine were candidates for the soldier-training program but didn't make the cut--young Ender is the Wiggin drafted to the orbiting Battle School for rigorous military training.
Ender's skills make him a leader in school and respected in the Battle Room, where children play at mock battles in zero gravity. Yet growing up in an artificial community of young soldiers Ender suffers greatly from isolation, rivalry from his peers, pressure from the adult teachers, and an unsettling fear of the alien invaders. His psychological battles include loneliness, fear that he is becoming like the cruel brother he remembers, and fanning the flames of devotion to his beloved sister.
Is Ender the general Earth needs? But Ender is not the only result of the genetic experiments. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Ender's two older siblings are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. Between the three of them lie the abilities to remake a world. If, that is, the world survives. "Ender's Game" is the winner of the 1985 Nebula Award for Best Novel and the 1986 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
