In a future where mankind has barely survived two invasions from an alien species called the Formics, or "buggers", Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card opens. Brilliant children are trained from a young age to become military leaders, among them, our protagonist, Ender Wiggin. A genius in strategy, Ender is isolated from his peers and subjected to a grueling training regimen at Battle School. Ender's brilliance prevails and he is promoted to Command School where he's tutored by the legendary, Mazer Rackham. Ender's final examination is a simulation where he commands a fleet against the buggers. Ender, thinking outside the box, makes a dire choice to win the game. But as the dust settles, Ender is faced with a shocking truth that blurs the line between game and reality, triggering a profound moral dilemma. The story leaves us questioning the nature of our own humanity and the choices we make in the face of survival.
