Wait a minute.  "Sexually confused" shouldn't be an indictment,
especially in an adolescent.  And it could make for interesting
fiction.  Still I don't remember Ender suffering from that condition,
just adolescent alienation.

And how is it you call him fascist?  As I remember it, he was a
student in some boarding school in space that had a military
environment.  Is that "fascist?"  Is the military "fascist?"  I don't
think so.  I don't think the military was the government in Ender's
Game.  But in a time of war, it may seem so...

Anyway, I thought Ender's Game was well written and pretty
imaginative.  Granted, I read it many years ago.

Snow Crash was mostly lame, IMHO.  But I did like the section
describing the watchdog-droid, and a few other parts.  But I've
disliked every Stephenson novel I've ever started...
