Memorable: Ender's Game

To continue the <a href="”>previous post on novel series which I really enjoyed, another one which deserves mention is Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card.

While I don’t quite remember when I first picked up the this book – probably the second or third year during my undergraduate studies – I can recall vividly how emotionally I got involved while reading this book at the time. The action, the pace, the pain and toll of intensive training on a child, the loneliness of having no equals among your peers, and the realisation of having single-handedly annihilated an entire alien race, the list goes on.

Collective mind

Was in the middle of a searching online when I stumbled on to Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia. The significance and the magnitude of this project can only be grasped once you realise that the contributions to this great body of knowledge all come from ordinary people who venture on to the electronic realm – in short, people like you and me.
