supports: The Nebula Awards annually recognize the best works of science fiction or fantasy published in the United States during the previous year. The awards are organized and awarded by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA), a nonprofit association of professional science fiction and fantasy writers. They were first given in 1966 at a ceremony created for the awards, and are given in four categories for different lengths of literary works. A fifth category for film and television episode scripts was given 197478 and 200009. The rules governing the Nebula Awards have changed several times during the awards' history, most recently in 2010. Speaker for the Dead is a 1986 science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card and an indirect sequel to the novel "Ender's Game". The book takes place around the year 5270, some 3,000 years after the events in "Ender's Game". However, because of relativistic space travel, Ender himself is only about 35 years old. Science fiction (often shortened to SF, sci-fi or scifi) is a genre of speculative fiction, typically dealing with imaginative concepts such as futuristic science and technology, space travel, time travel, faster than light travel, parallel universes, and extraterrestrial life. Science fiction often explores the potential consequences of scientific and other innovations, and has been called a "literature of ideas." It usually avoids the supernatural, and unlike the related genre of fantasy, historically science fiction stories were intended to have a grounding in science-based fact or theory at the time the story was created, but this connection is now limited to hard science fiction.

A feature film adaptation of "Ender's Game", which Card co-produced, was released in late October 2013 in Europe and on November 1, 2013, in North America. Ender's Game is a 1985 military science fiction novel by American author Orson Scott Card.
