Formative reading about the power of ideas and anonymous writing on the internet

"I read Ender's Game like every year from ages 10 to 20. I really should reread it. The Peter and Valentine subplot — they are posing as bloggers on an Internet forum where there isn't really an Internet, writing essays so good that they solve world peace. I..."
