If you haven't read Childhood's End by Arthur Clarke, you should check it out. Just keep in mind, the characters are decidedly plain, in order to focus on the rest of the plot.

I'm depressed now.
Are there any other books that touch on the concept of "ancestral" memory in a similar way?

>Karellen blew on the candles which the Overlords had lit for him, 18 in total, each of them extinguishing as a result of his breath, all but one. He stared at the last candle and thought to himself: Ah, this is Childhood's End. And then he blew out the final candle.

ITT: novels where humanity faces aliens.

- war
- politics

The smarter the better, but if it's good, recommend away.

Forgot to mention this. Should I continue with Clarke? I liked this one way enough to want to continue.
