Children of the Mind

Book Review

Orson Scott Card's «Children of the Mind» is the fourth book in the Ender Wiggin series, continuing to explore complex themes such as ethics, identity, and the nature of humanity. Critics note that Card masterfully develops characters, deepening their internal conflicts and moral dilemmas. In this book, the author focuses on philosophical questions related to artificial intelligence and interstellar diplomacy, making it more meditative and intellectual compared to previous installments. Some reviewers feel that «Children of the Mind» lacks the dynamism and tension of «Ender's Game», but compensates with the depth and complexity of the themes it raises. Card successfully concludes the storylines, leaving readers with a sense of satisfaction and reflections on the future of humanity and its place in the universe.
