Reading again
Childhood's End arrived yesterday (I got it after an emphatic recommendation, which I haven't regretted taking to heart), and I spent most of today reading. This is powerful stuff.
I'm not through yet, though the end is not far off. So far, the most moving quote was this:
What you will have brought into the world may be utterly alien, it may share none of your desires or hopes, it may look upon your greatest achievements as childish toys - yet it is something wonderful, and you will have created it.

Hey there! That's a great
"Above all nations is humanity." ~Goldwin Smith
It is science fiction,
The book describes the arrival of the "Overlords", a group of technologically far advanced beings who have decided to take over management of Earth. For alien overlords, they are very benevolent; they eradicate poverty, warfare, environmental destruction and animal cruelty.
However, this isn't the end of their agenda...
I'm stopping here for fear of spoilers. but the end of the book is inspiring, uplifting and yet quite depressing. But it was definitely a very powerful story, and I'm very glad I read it.
