Childhood's end
Book • 1953
The novel follows the arrival of the Overlords, mysterious aliens who bring about a utopian era of peace and prosperity on Earth.
However, this new era comes at the cost of human creativity, ambition, and eventually, human identity.
The story is divided into three parts, each exploring different themes: the initial invasion, the golden age under the Overlords, and the eventual transformation of human children into a new form of psychic hive-mind consciousness.
The novel raises philosophical questions about the nature of humanity, the price of progress, and the ultimate fate of the human race under alien supervision.
