Childhood's End

[Aroura]

I bet the end has humans deciding it just isn't worth their precious freedom. Its how every film and book handles the subject despite the fact we are barely fit to govern on a micro scale much less macro.
Anyone remember I-Robot? All those MS5s wanted them to do was stay inside till they had taken over everything to stop people killing each other either due to incompetence or violence, the curfew was in effect but not permanently. Because they're tasked with everyones safety its highly likely there would of been much hugs and apology ice-cream for all afterward. Then an era of unprecedented growth, development, safety and prosperity would of been ushered in. With an AI leader tasked with those things and bound by the three laws all issues would ultimately be resolved to satisfaction. We would finally have someone fit for the job.
But no. Because Will Smith  prefers to drive manually.

Actually, that isn't how the book ends at all.

And so far, from episode 1, it appears the TV show is fairly faithful to the book.   It's Arthur C. Clark, author of 2001 A Space Odyssey.  He's not shy of telling humans to ditch religion and embrace evolving into something better, even if it does cost our "freedom".
