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...
