A review by sinvvas
Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke

5.0

Aliens are invading! (dun, dun, duh!!!!) But they are not here to hurt humanity, they are here to cure cancer, end wars, and stop hunger. But why? That's the question that carries for the rest of the book. This book borders between hopeful science fiction and existential horror of the unknown. It will keep you on your toes and make you feel awfully small in this big universe. The author also wrote the cult classic 2001: A Space Odyssey and single-handedly inspired the entire science fiction genre.
