Publisher's Summary
When the silent spacecraft arrived and took the light from the world, no one knew what to expect. When the Overlords 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 soon they will be ready to join the Overmind...and, in a grand and thrilling metaphysical climax, leave Earth behind.

True classic
I was aware of the influence of Arthur C Clarke on the world of science fiction but had not read any of his works till now. Childhood's end is a thoroughly enjoyable and profound book which is a testament to Clarke's vision way back in 1950s.

Start of adulthood ... or is it?
This was a very thought provoking story! Touches on so many aspects such as first contact, purpose of higher intelligence, what is our own end purpose etc.
I am sure I can read this again and understand the philosophical aspects better now that I know the story. Would definitely recommend to everyone who loves sci fi with a dash of philosphy.
Once you get dazzled by the story, remember that this was written way back in 1950s. mind=blown!!!
