Xenocide (1991) is the third book in the Ender's Game series, a science fiction novel by American writer Orson Scott Card[2]. Published during a period of increasing globalization and heightened awareness of cultural differences, Xenocide explores themes of communication, xenophobia, and the potential dangers of advanced technology. Card's work often delves into moral and philosophical dilemmas, and Xenocide continues this trend by examining the complexities of interspecies relations and the responsibilities of wielding immense power. The novel's exploration of these themes reflects contemporary concerns about cultural understanding, technological advancements, and the potential consequences of unchecked power. It was nominated for both the Hugo and Locus Awards for Best Novel in 1992.[3]
