Childhood's End by Arthur C Clarke

My favourite Clarke so far. Compelling story, and characters. Thought provoking. Whenever you go out at night and see the sky, do you think about what's there? The cosmos is so vast and complex. It's beyond our comprehension. This book is about an alien invasion. But the aliens are not evil or hostile. They come with a purpose. A purpose they don't understand themselves. At the end Clarke reveals the mystery. The revelation is fulfilling I guess but left me with so many questions, wondering how life would be if the ending was real. 🤔 There are 2 or 3 instances in which I got shocked by Clarke's prodigious imagination. Descriptions of the fictitious 21st century society which resemble our reality of the 21st century. And the book was written 70 years ago. 🤔 That's it. Read the book.
