“As a teenager, Arthur C. Clarke was one of my favorite science fiction writers. Among his novels, Childhood’s End is one of the most acclaimed. The story climaxes with the harvesting of the minds of evolutionarily advanced human children into a galactic ‘Overmind,’ a mass-mind entity that transcends material existence. Up to that point, I found the story very gripping and enjoyable, but the ending was something of a letdown: The evolutionary future of my species would be nothing more than absorption into an undifferentiated, sentient cosmic soup. However, the UN now promotes something similar to that in its own religious vision.” (02/17/25)
