Let's read and discuss Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke

Details

Join us for a book club meeting to discuss the novel Childhood’s End by Arthur C. Clarke. Whether you've finished the book or are still in the midst of the adventure, everyone is welcome to join the conversation (Spoilers may occur). Hope to see you there :).

Book Description:
The Overlords appeared suddenly over every city—intellectually, technologically, and militarily superior to humankind. Benevolent, they made few demands: unify earth, eliminate poverty, and end war. With little rebellion, humankind agreed, and a golden age began.

But at what cost? With the advent of peace, man ceases to strive for creative greatness, and a malaise settles over the human race. To those who resist, it becomes evident that the Overlords have an agenda of their own. As civilization approaches the crossroads, will the Overlords spell the end for humankind . . . or the beginning?
