  • A must read for today's world and future. Sci-fi but not sci-fi.

    Amazing novel by one of the GREATS of Science Fiction, a story that still is compelling and now very fascinating with all the outer space explorations happening and the conversations about beings from other worlds and galaxies going on. It was a great read 50 years ago, and a great read again now. Wonderful and thoughtful reading for anyone! Item well packaged and sold at a good price. Very satisfied with purchase and packaging.

  • Great content... makes you consider the possibilities of humanity.

    Excellent example of what humanity would become. Yet, do we need the overlords or can we end our childhood ourselves.

  • Sir Arthur did it a long time ago

    I am about 1/3 of the way through "Childhoods End" and am enjoying Si Arthur Clark's handiwork.
