The Social Media Message of Ender’s Game →

Unlike most science fiction novels that project from the present into the future and then reflect that projection back to us, Ender’s Game draws directly from the ‘here’ and ‘now’ to critically examine what it is that makes us what we are. In the process it becomes one of the best social media fables of our times.

Social is the Default Setting →

In theory an alien from another world with average motor skills and an above average memory could learn to drive and navigate our road networks within a day or two. And then, despite knowing how to drive and being able to recall every instruction of the Highway Code, he’d have a massive car accident the moment he ventured on the roads.

The reason lies in the fact that driving, arguably the most solitary of activities, is also one of the most social minded ones.
