Enders Game

The Giver-Lois Lowry
The House of the Scorpion-Nancy Farmer
Artemis Fowl:The Eternity Code-Eoin Colfer

Comment: I really liked the book, but I found it slightly frightening that the children in this book were so intelligent, I mean come on, and 7 year-old doing trig and 9 year-olds leading 'armies'. I just thought it was a bit creepy.

Question: Does it seem plausible that perhaps, someday, the government will try to limit the number of children a couple can have in order to control the population of the world? Or even, for that matter, that humans will ever be that intelligent?
