The only remnant of human culture that the aliens preserve (outside the collective consciousness) is Vaughan Williams' "The Lark Ascending". If you're like me, you gotta love that! Is this plot element present in the Arthur C. Clarke novel? It doesn't seem so from the plot summary I read on Wikipedia.
Follow Ups:
I found another plot summary at sparknotes. Link below. The ending on the syfy miniseries seems to line up with this summary.I also read that Clarke added on to this novel in 1990. So the later edition will likely contain a different ending. I haven't read any version of the novel yet.
Other notes: Stanley Kubrick wanted to film Childhood's End initially before deciding on Clarke's novel "The Sentinel". But changed the title for the film to "2001: A Space Odyssey". Having read the entire series of Clarke's books on the 2001 theme, the initial novel title fits the story line of the movie.
