The novel is more clear. Dave has evolved, literally. The monoliths are mile markers set out by ethereal aliens; the first teaching apes how to use tools, the other monitoring our progress to becoming space-faring.
Aliens ushering us into a next plane of evolution is a recurring them with Clark. Childhood’s End has the extraterrestrials taking a much more deliberate role in our species transition.
I’d say spoilers dude, but this is all sorta common knowledge around ‘2001’ the film. Afaik the novel also has some stuff about missiles and whatever, in the end phase. I should probably get through it someday, looks like it’s quite short even.
I was born after that movie. I’m not bitching about Game of Thrones spoilers as I’m just watching it. It’s your fault if you’re… let’s check… 58 years behind.

Ain’t that 2010?
After a certain amount of time I think rights to spoiler warnings are forfeit. It’s been decades.
Sure, because everyone born later than those decades has seen those films.
