“the power to cause pain is the only power that matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if you can't kill then you are always subject to those who can, and nothing and one will ever save you.”

American novelist and screenwriter, Orson Scott Card is best known for his speculative fiction, particularly the *Ender’s Game* series, which explores military strategy and moral dilemmas through the lens of children’s experiences. His work often blends hard science fiction with philosophical questions about power, ethics, and human nature.
