The Ender Series. Specifically Speaker for the Dead.

The idea that, even the seemingly worst of us, can be motivated by events and feelings we can all understand if we try, has been important to me.

Especially when combined with the understanding that free will isn't even an illusion, but a comforting lie we tell ourselves.
