Childhood's End (S.F. Masterworks) Book

This is an exploration of aliens landing and mans relationship with the universe. Rather than man teaching the aliens about humanity, the reverse is the case, with aliens promoting peace and prosperity, in a land that has become riddled with poverty and destruction. A mixture of science fiction and prophesy, this is a story of technological advances being used as a vehicle for moral superiority and utopian ambition. A blissfully harmonious life leads to suspicion in the more cynical humans and the generation gap between children and parents lead to separate cultural identities and a staggering supernatural finale with revelatory significance not often a theme in Arthur C. Clarkes literature.Read More

    When the silent spacecraft arrived and took the light from the world, no one knew what to expect. But, although the Overlords kept themselves hidden from man, they had come to unite a warring world and to offer an end to poverty and crime. When they finally showed themselves it was a shock, but one that humankind could now cope with, and an era of peace, prosperity and endless leisure began. But the children of this utopia dream strange dreams of distant suns and alien planets, and begin to evolve into something incomprehensible to their parents, and soon they will be ready to join the Overmind ...and, in a grand and thrilling metaphysical climax, leave the Earth behind.
