“Some cool visuals of the book here...http://www.nealadamsentertainment.com/pages/conceptchildhood.html”
“The end of earth, the end of man, the evolved children having superpowers and melding with this almost godlike mind. I dunno, not my favorite of clarkes, maybe because it departs on his very factual science and more of a fantasy of a devil race and the god that will absorb man. Hmmm...i guess i kind of get it .....a very religious symbolic kind of ending, ...only two roads to go to in the universe per the character Jan, overlords (the devils) or the overmind (god?) and i guess earth was the middle ground (purgatory)? Hmmm... it's sinking in, fascinating.”
