Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke

crookedmidnight's review against another edition

5.0

Really enjoyed the stories and it had some good reveals. Not sure how I feel about the end though. Very sad that Clarke’s imagining of an excessive amount of media consumption was 3 hours a day

Começando a ler todos os 73 livros da lista SF Masterworks., e acho que não poderia ter começado melhor.
Aliens ajudando os humanos a alcançarem a tão famosa utopia. Mas o que acontece quando alcançarmos a sonhada utopia? Qual o motivo dos aliens nos ajudarem?
Achei um mistério muito bom e os segredos revelados são bem trabalhados e me deixaram bem curioso.

El mejor Arthur C Clarke en un libro inconmensurable. Es difícil describir el cúmulo de sensaciones encontradas que experimentas especialmente en su final
Una obra para leer y disfrutar, tanto si eres amante de la ciencia ficción como si no

One of those sci fi stories that just…ends. Another entry in the Pink Floyd reading list in the bag. Overall it was an enjoyable read.
