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.
喜欢的科幻小说搬上大银幕,我在Kindle上重读了「Ender's Game」。 (中:「安德的游戏」、台:「战争游戏」)。 // 剧透,未看打算看的朋友最好在此止步、转身。// 像是算计到有我这种读者的存在,电影相当贪婪的以两小时尺度来照搬小说里...
評分这真是一个残忍的故事。一群大人为了所谓的“爱国爱乡爱地球“的拯救人类的英雄情结,把一个几岁大的小孩心中残暴的一面引诱出来,继而培养他成为”人虫“大战的总司令。可是这场战争真的有意义吗?虫族已经不再挑起战争,而人类或是为了安心,或是为了安抚地球动荡不安的情绪...
評分我也喜欢刘慈欣的小说,尤其是《球状闪电》,因为两者都有政治特色。因为是美国作家,他会有冷战思维,而且美国人参政意识很强,所以洛克可以协同她的妹妹在这件事上大做文章,其实这也是科幻的一部分,过程很有创意。还有在训练营里那个要荣誉到极端暴力的西班牙人,被讽刺...
評分我想起最开始知道这本书是在什么时候。我买了昂达vx那一系的mp4之后不久从友燧那里拷来的一系列科幻名著,这是其中的一本。vx陪伴了我整个大学时代,无数言情小说偶尔正经文学流进流出,现在想来多么奢侈而不真实的日子。 老实说,那个汇聚了中外科幻大神代表作的文件...
評分这部书值得纪念的一点,与书本身无关:它是我第一部在ipad上读完的电子书。我预言,在不久的将来,实体书将越来越少,就像实体信一样。我要好好收藏现有的实体书,因为的确不打算买很多实体书了。 那两个星期,每天晚上抱着ipad,躲在床的一个角落,像得了强迫症似的一...
My appreciation is well beyond words.
评分看到三分之二的時候,覺得這其實是講如何將有苗頭的天生殺人狂人為養成的故事,還挺佩服幕後推手;結果後三分之一的發展好看得很,還基本都圓上瞭。這樣看來電影完全沒把事情講清楚啊。
评分very enlightening. I wish I could be like Ender.
