realizing the game wasn’t a game: thoughts after Ender’s Game

I used to think Ender’s Game was just a clever sci-fi about a kid mastering a battle simulation. But the moment I realized the “game” was actually real war changed everything. Ender, playing what he thought was a training exercise, unknowingly commands an actual fleet, wiping out an entire species. That twist hit me like a punch. How often do we think we’re in control, only to find we’re pawns in someone else’s plan? It made me wonder about the lines we cross in the name of strategy and survival — how much are we willing to sacrifice, and what innocence do we lose along the way? In a world flooded with simulations and virtual realities, Ender’s Game asks us to question: are we really playing, or being played? #Entertainment #Books #SciFiFantasyMystery #EndersGame
