“We thought we were the only thinking beings in the universe, until we met you, but never did we dream that thought could arise from the lonely animals who cannot dream each other's dreams.”

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.
