Half of Peter and Valentine’s world

Monday, June 10th, 2002

Thinking about what Orson Scott Card might still have to say about Ender’s world, it occurred to me that if Ender’s Game was rewritten today (or, more reasonably, in a few years), Locke and Demosthenes would be writing weblogs, rather than posting in what sounds a bit like Usenet.
