Ender’s Game and The Matrix
There are quite a few things common between “the matrix” and “Ender’s game“. Though Ender’s game was first published much earlier than “The Matrix”, I read the book after I watched the movie. Things like people wondering about “the one”, saving the humanity et al are some of the similarities I find in both of them.
That reminds me of this old, now-everyone-has-read, article, comparing(?) “The Fight Club” and “Calvin and Hobbes”.
