Intriguing ‘Ender’s Game’: What You Need to Know
A very wonderful novel, which tells the growth process of several teenage geniuses under the background of the human-worm war. They, Ender is the protagonist of the novel. Ender, with his super-perfect genius ability — I personally think that he was almost close to God — overcoming many almost insurmountable difficulties, extremely difficult, and finally growing into a genius military commander, commanding the fleet of Earth to defeat the weak and destroy the Zerg almost completely.
The section describing Ender’s studies is particularly exciting and fascinating. Due to the time of writing the work, the work has a strong color belonging to that era (you can see the shadow of the US-Soviet hegemony and the Cold War period), and the author also predicted the impact of the Internet on our lives in the work. (As far as I understand it, it’s pretty accurate). The characters in the work are very successful, especially Ender, a genius who can save the earth, he has a strong tragic color — which reminds me of the Jews — the book describes his psychological growth process in great detail.
This book has a little inspiration for me. It comes from the war between people and insects. Sometimes the hatred between people, races, and races does not come from hurting each other, but from a kind of Fear, a kind of distrust, and this fear, this kind of distrust comes from the fact that we don’t understand each other. Maybe we should really get to know other people, other races and races, and then talk about love and hate. In this way, many tragedies can be avoided.
I suggest fans of military novels take a look at this novel. It is incomparable to those so-called military-themed lewd novels that are popular on the Internet. There are hardly any positive descriptions of combat in the book, and the protagonist Ender seems to be constantly training and being tested, like a game of increasing difficulty, which may be the source of the title.
Even the final battle to destroy the Zerg, Ender thought it was the last and hardest test he had to accept. How realistic and terrifyingly powerful is such a description, isn’t today’s war more and more like the one depicted in the book?
Thousands of lives can be wiped out at the push of a button; rows of buildings can be destroyed at the flick of a joystick; lives are lost as numbers flash on monitors, and war losses are shown in reports On paper, the slaughterers couldn’t hear the moans of the slaughtered, couldn’t see the blood of the dead, couldn’t smell the breath of death on the Asura field, they just hid in the solid bunkers, stared at the monitor, and enjoyed the sandwiches and meals. coffee. Murder can be so comfortable. Everything can be left to those icy war machines. Everything is like a video game.
I am only afraid that one day people will become numb and cold, people will no longer care about the life and death of life, and will no longer care about the cruelty of killing.
