nobody ever wrote to me saying"you know ender's game was a pretty good book, but you know what it really needs a n introduction!".....so be assured the novel stands on its own, and if you skip this intro and go straight to the story, i not only won't stand in your way i'll even agree with you!
In the introduction to "Ender's Game", Orson Scott Card reflects on the nature of introductions in books. He suggests that readers often dive straight into stories without feeling the need for contextual explanations. Card points out that he has never received feedback from readers asking for an introduction to enhance their experience of the book.
He reassures readers that "Ender's Game" is a self-sufficient work, arguing that it doesn’t require an introduction to be appreciated. Card encourages readers to start with the story itself, expressing that he supports their decision to skip the introductory material altogether.
