Ender's Game

Lord of the Flies - William Golding
Starship Troopers - Robert A. Heinlein
Any Harry Potter - JK Rowling

Comment:
This book is one of my favorites. Ender's Game was first written as a short story in 1977 and then expanded into a novel in 1985. While it did exist, the internet (the "nets" in the book) was not widely known about or used. Card hit the mark on both the internet and laptops (desks).

Question:
Given what else Card predicted, what else in Ender's Game, either technical or social, is a possibility?
