ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Xenocide by Orson Scott Card delves into the complex aftermath of interspecies conflict. The narrative explores the profound moral and philosophical dilemmas that arise when dealing with alien civilizations and the potential for their destruction, hinted at by the title itself. Drawing upon diverse cultural influences, including Chinese historical figures and literature, the story also examines intricate aspects of human psychology, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. The book seems to grapple with themes of understanding, responsibility, and the delicate balance between different forms of life in the universe.
