The Books Oracle

Children of the Mind

by Orson Scott Card · Ender's Saga series

The concluding volume of the Ender Quartet follows the fragmented consciousness of Ender Wiggin as it attempts to reunite across multiple bodies while Jane, the sentient computer network, faces extinction. Philosophical questions of identity, personhood, and sacrifice converge as humanity's future hangs in the balance. Card weaves together multiple storylines from across the series in a meditation on what it means to be human.
