Childhood's End/YMMV


 * Uncanny Valley: The faces of the new generation, which resembles the type of 'average face' created by compositing many photos together and is even more expressionless than a corpse.
 * Values Dissonance: The book was written when feminism was in its early stages, so there are a few jarringly sexist things with the men running the show and Jean only acclimating to New Athens when she learns to appreciate the kitchen.
 * It also attempts to challenge racism through making "nigger" a polite description no more taboo than "republican".
