I didn't know what this was interference to, but I did some googling and found out more about it. And, yeah, I can imagine the kind of fallout that might have had with her fans :(

I was never into this series, or Ender's Game, or the Future History collection, but I am closely connected to a number of others who have felt similar pain. I remember being disgusted the Harrison Ford movie was even made... I was going to be surprised if I didn't see this connection to this topic come up, and I figured there was a lot of pain out there to sort through. Hugz.

Thank you.

I had never heard about this before, but now googling I am also sad and sickened for the fans of her work. I can imagine the horror and shock you felt and probably still feel. Pure evil. Thank you for bringing this up so I can be sure to avoid reading or letting my children ever read.

The really sick thing is that her words gave me a feeling of power and strength...when she was doing what my own father and his friends did to. I still can't completely process that.

I haven't read the books, and I'll make sure I don't. This was a great interpretation of the prompt. Burning a book is such a powerful statement.
