'''Childhood's End''' is a 1953 [[science fiction]] novel by [[Arthur C. Clarke]]. It features a peaceful invasion by alien 'Overlords' with a mysterious agenda. It was adapted [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood%27s_End_(miniseries) into a 2015 mini series].
== Transhumanist elements ==
Certain [[libertarian transhumanism|libertarian]] ideas are explored when a minority of the humans on earth reject the alien's '[[utopia|utopian]]' interventions, instead preferring to live in a separate city of 'New Athens' with many down sides, but increased feeling of freedom and creativity.

The Overlords themselves are humanoid in form, representing a familiar [[transhuman]] manifestation in contrast to the incomprehensible [[posthuman transhumanism|posthuman]] Overmind.

Transhumanist technologies features included [[suspended animation]], [[life extension|life span]] and [[healthspan]] interventions, the possibility for the mind of someone dying to enter an extended dream-world of perceived endless duration, accelerated species-level evolution, and the formation of a [[hive mind|group consciousness]], as well as more science fiction level [[human augmentation]]s. Futurist ideas include [[climate engineering]], [[seasteading]], rapid [[molecular manufacturing|molecular-scale manufacturing]], and [[space exploration]].

The overall themes deals with the [[existential risks]] associated with alien [[super intelligence]] and mankind's limited ability to understand or resist such forces. Should humans welcome or oppose a higher level of intelligence that appears to be benevolent but might harbour darker intentions? Might a higher level of intelligence itself be a prelude to further level of intelligence (such as the Overmind) with intentions that are even more unfathomable?
