​Please read Ender’s Game in advance. We’ll discuss it through the lens of network states and Network School: human coordination around existential risks, talent selection, training pipelines, strategy under uncertainty, institutional incentives, moral injury, and what “leadership at scale” looks like when the system is the battlefield.

​

​Ender’s Game (Orson Scott Card) is a classic military sci-fi novel about a gifted child recruited into an elite training program in space, where games, simulation, and rivalry blur into real command decisions, with consequences that keep getting bigger.
