Author's comments on the book

In his introduction to the book, Scott Card says that much of what he includes in the novel is speculation and adds that, "The task in this novel was to show how good people can sometimes do bad things to those they love most." He goes on to say, "Isaac was headed for a disastrously wrong decision; Rebekah chose an equally wrong method of stopping him...but in the end, the result was a good one because good people made the best of it despite all the mistakes."[1]

gollark: The states of the particles are related in some weird way, is all.
gollark: That... okay, I don't know how quantum entanglement works mathematically and just have a vague conceptual idea, but it doesn't seem like it can magically produce momentum.
gollark: What? That makes no sense.
gollark: I am not going to put in the effort to read tons of this and extract a coherent narrative which probably isn't there, because frankly it does not seem worth my time, or anyone's.
gollark: Well, it explains random facts about things, and in some cases non-facts, but it doesn't... actually say anything more than "here are some random facts about things".
