* DoubleMeaningTitle: As stated above, "Childhood's End" refers to the metaphorical sense of humanity discovering alien life and becoming an advanced civilization, [[spoiler:and the literal sense of how the new, telekinetic generation of children are basically [[BornAsAnAdult born as fully-formed hyper-intelligent adults]], whereupon the entire concept of "Childhood" becomes meaningless]].

[[Series/ChildhoodsEnd The series]] makes this even more blatant (showing the kids spontaneously rising into the air).]]

''Childhood's End'' is a novel by Creator/ArthurCClarke, originally published in 1953 (but based off of a 1950 short story of his). The plot concerns the BenevolentAlienInvasion of an alien race called the Overlords. After stopping the UsefulNotes/ColdWar and establishing a world government, they start to maintain peace on Earth, but refuse to show any images of themselves for fifty years. Humanity enters a golden age, before spoilery events happen. Yeah, you can't read much more than that without the ''entire'' plot being given away.
