This is a group for speculative fiction fa ns (science fiction/fantasy) who would like to read and discuss genre lite rature. Each month we'll have a discussion about a book\, either a new rel ease or an older book (but ideally something that most people haven't read yet)\, that we've read before meeting.
\n"Childhood's End"& nbsp\;by Arthur C. Clarke.
\n"The Overlords appeared su ddenly over every city&mdash\;intellectually\, technologically\, and milit arily superior to humankind. Benevolent\, they made few demands: unify ear th\, eliminate poverty\, and end war. With little rebellion\, humankind ag reed\, and a golden age began.
\nBut at what cost? With the advent of peace\, man ceases to strive for creative greatness\, and a mal aise settles over the human race. To those who resist\, it becomes evident that the Overlords have an agenda of their own. As civilization approache s the crossroads\, will the Overlords spell the end for humankind . . . or the beginning?"
