I wonder if OSC knows the world's youngest billionaire is a fan. It's the only book he lists on his facebook page, though it's not his favorite.
In our last interview—this one over the phone—I asked Zuckerberg about “Ender’s Game,” the sci-fi book whose hero is a young computer wizard.
“Oh, it’s not a favorite book or anything like that,” Zuckerberg told me, sounding surprised. “I just added it because I liked it. I don’t think there’s any real significance to the fact that it’s listed there and other books aren’t. But there are definitely books—like the Aeneid—that I enjoyed reading a lot more.”

Describing the protagonist as a "computer wizard" is very misleading to those who haven't read Ender's Game, but Ender does do his share of hacking.

Well, I think that since the only OTHER book he mentions is the Aeneid, that EG is in good company....
