Can someone please summarize what changed in the 1991 edition of Ender's Game?
Answer
From this link:
This:
"Let's freeze a few," Alai said. "Let's have our first battle. Us against them."
They grinned. Then Ender said, "Better invite Bernard."
Alai cocked an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"And Shen."
"That little slanty-eyed butt-wiggler?"
Ender decided that Alai was joking. "Hey, we can't all be niggers."
Alai grinned. "My grandpa would've killed you for that."
"My great great grandpa would have sold him first."
"Let's go get Bernard and Shen and freeze these bugger-lovers."
Was changed to:
"Let's freeze a few," Alai said. "Let's have our first battle. Us against them."
They grinned. Then Ender said, "Better invite Bernard."
Alai cocked an eyebrow. "Oh?"
"And Shen."
"That little butt-wiggler?"
Ender decided that Alai was joking. "If you didn't hold yours so tight it would wiggle, too."
Alai grinned. "Let's go get Bernard and Shen and freeze these bugger-lovers."
Some more changes:
Chapter 15 was completely re-written to flow with the other books in the series better.
The original version referenced the Warsaw Pact. The newer version references the New Warsaw Pact.
On January 28, 1986 the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded. The original version made mention of the perfect safety record for space flights. This was changed.
The writer's introduction was changed.
