Have been overwhelmed by Childhood's End since grade school--that's a very long time ago. This current version is slightly changed from the original, but without injury to the main theme. Clarke is well-known for his prophetic scientific speculations, but his lasting legacy--as also with 2001 and The City And the Stars--is the author's astonishing explorations into the ultimate destiny of humanity. In this respect, Childhood's End is about as far-out as is possible.
