Definitely a well written sci-fi novel with some depth, though personally I find the idea that a person has no privacy to his or her spouse creepy, yet this is true in the WHOLE settled space and never get challenged in the story. Ender also comes up a bit like a Sue imho.
Orson Scott Card truly has mastered the heart of science fiction, and it's glory isn't in the possible future technology, or interstellar travel, or even xenobiology. It's discovering what it means to be human over, and over again.
And there's something about examining humanity through the perspective of something that isn't human that is so profound. This whole series is an examination of humanity that is diligent, enthralling, and touching.
Speaker for the Dead may just be my all time favorite ...more
