When author Orson Scott Card published “Ender’s Game” in 1985, he shared his incredible ability to predict the future with the world. The novel chronicled planet Earth sometime early after the millennium change, and Card’s assumptions about what technology would come to be were strikingly accurate. With this hook in mind, Card crafted a world of well-developed characters and even a species or two, starting the beginning of an anthology that he would continue to write for 25 years.
The “Ender” novels that came after “Ender’s Game” weren’t exactly sequels; they followed protagonists other than Ender Wiggin and released in non-chronological order, C.S. Lewis-style.
