About this product

Product Information

The classic science fiction novel that captures and expands on the vision of Stanley Kubrick's immortal film--and changed the way we look at the stars and ourselves. From the savannas of Africa at the dawn of mankind to the rings of Saturn as man ventures to the outer rim of our solar system, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a journey unlike any other. This allegory about humanity's exploration of the universe--and the universe's reaction to humanity--is a hallmark achievement in storytelling that follows the crew of the spacecraft Discovery as they embark on a mission to Saturn. Their vessel is controlled by HAL 9000, an artificially intelligent supercomputer capable of the highest level of cognitive functioning that rivals--and perhaps threatens--the human mind. Grappling with space exploration, the perils of technology, and the limits of human power, 2001: A Space Odyssey continues to be an enduring classic of cinematic scope.

    One of the all time best

    I saw this movie before I read the book and I wish I had not, the book is 10 times better than the movie in that you get more into the mind of the characters. When the movie was first shown in the local theater in 1968 it was very misunderstood and many left the theatre wondering what was going on however Stanley Kubrick brought out the best in Arthur C. Clarke when they worked together to make the movie. The way Clarke brings space to life in this story was years ahead of it's time. You have to remember that prior to 1969 only a hand full of humans had ever even been in space, let alone established colonies or built ships large enough for anyone to live in. 2001 is one of the best space stories ever written and I highly recommend all Sci-Fi fans to add this one to their collection.
