My advice? Consult the illustrated I Ching!

Zoomers are pathetic
Perhaps Project Hail Mary is more your speed

Of course it is cause its actual science and a good story instead of just being a shit book but >muh thememaxxing

>>25283620
The Satanist author let in his worldview a little too much.

>>25283639
Actual science? Parapsychology and New Age themes about human ascension aren't real science. There's some space travel for sure, but the meat of the story is elsewhere.

Where the fuck does project hail mary talks about that? Its spends more on irl physics than on any of that shiet, physics being science, in case you dont know

Neck yourself redditor.

I haven't read Project Hail Mary. I'm talking about Childhood's End.

Why did boomers just write a bunch of nonsense like you already know what's going on in their stories? Like hello, I just fucking got here, can you tell me what's going on?

>>25283672

>>25283667
I wasnt and you replied to my post

Printing and big books were too expensive to make,so they had to do a lot in few pages they couldnt stop to explain, thats why pulp is a thing

Evangelion was based on this, yet this book is shit and evangelion is a masterpiece

You saw it at an impressionable age, identified heavily with the characters, and have never really progressed beyond an adolescent mindset.

One of my favorite songs was based on Childhood's End so I've always been meaning to read it

It's a 10/10 book.

I somehow went into it blind last year without ever having heard of it. I really liked the first part, the second part was absolute dogshit and the ending was okay.

I wish the first part was just a short story because it's perfect, the rest feels incredibly forced and tacked on just so it could be sold as a full novel.

I didn't know this. I read this and watched Evangelion both for the first time in my 30s and I really loved Evangelion (the original series I didn't watch any movies also not end of Evangelion) but I thought this novel was pretty weak beyond the first part.

Liking evangelion is the surest sign of someone being a depressed turbo virgin who will never make it

>>25285163
I think Evangelion owes much more to Ultraman, Gundam, James Bond, Jules Verne, and Gerry Anderson. Honestly, Arthur C Clarke's influence is overstated when compared to how much Cordwainer Smith's Instrumentality series influenced the story.
