From Amazon.com

When an enigmatic monolith is found buried on the moon, scientists are amazed to discover that it's at least 3 million years old. Even more amazing, after it's unearthed the artifact releases a powerful signal aimed at Saturn. What sort of alarm has been triggered? To find out, a manned spacecraft, the Discovery, is sent to investigate. Its crew is highly trained--the best--and they are assisted by a self-aware computer, the ultra-capable HAL 9000. But HAL's programming has been patterned after the human mind a little too well. He is capable of guilt, neurosis, even murder, and he controls every single one of Discovery's components. The crew must overthrow this digital psychotic if they hope to make their rendezvous with the entities that are responsible not just for the monolith, but maybe even for human civilization.

Clarke wrote this novel while Stanley Kubrick created the film, the two collaborating on both projects. The novel is much more detailed and intimate, and definitely easier to comprehend. Even though history has disproved its "predictions," it's still loaded with exciting and awe-inspiring science fiction. --Brooks Peck --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.



From Library Journal

Odyssey is an oddity: it is a novel based on a screenplay by Clarke and Kubrick that itself was based on a Clarke short story. And though it has thrilled fans for 31 years, still no one is really sure what it means. This nice hardcover sports a new introduction by Clarke.

This review is from: 2001 Space Odyssey (Mass Market Paperback)
2001: A space Odyssey by Aurthur C Clarke.

Sadly not having read any previous literature by Arthur C. Clarke I will not be able to tell you if 2001 is one of his better works or not but as far as science fiction it is definitely high on my list.

The book starts off with the main character being Moon watcher, an ape man in pre historic times. It follows a story line depicting how it was possible for this creature and his tribe to evolve into humans. You as the reader are only made to see the very beginnings of this and are promptly whizzed away to the future (approximately 1999 A.D.) where the rest of the story of man continues.

The dialogue in this book I found to be somewhat few and far between, which I happen to like. The author does not have his characters drone on and on towards each other but rather carries the story on a narrative. The descriptions in this novel are wondrous to the point that no movie could possibly portray.

Overall I would strongly recommend this book to nearly anyone I could get to read it. I also would like to point out that those of you who have seen the movie should definitely read this book, I myself saw the movie first and was surprised to se how differently this story was originally intended.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Better then the movie, Jui 12 2009
This review is from: 2001 Space Odyssey (Mass Market Paperback)
This is an enjoyable read and each section of the book could be given a review of it's own. I enjoyed the opening the best with the ape men it was very well written and hooked me on the rest of the book and now the entire series. The ending was kind of confusing like the movie but this book is still a solid 4 stars.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Important and engrossing novel!, Juil 12 2004
Par J. Connor "film and book fanatic'." (Palm Desert, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: 2001 Space Odyssey (Mass Market Paperback)
Arthur C. Clarke's sensation, 2001, is a classic of our long century of books. This classic is very entertaining, and will keep the reader engrossed for a matter of hours. A very important book for everyone to discover. Each reader will close the book with a new understanding of space and humans. The sequels following this novel are inferior, (exception 2010), and do not have the Clarke touch and creative wit of the original.
So, the story starts with the dawn of humankind, when man apes discover a black monolith one morning. Eventually as we see, this started us on the road to technology. Millions of years later, Heywood Floyd discovers the same type of monolith on the moon. This one is known as the "Tycho" monolith. A mission to Saturn is eventually sent, to investigate strange noises coming down from Saturn to the monolith. The "Discovery" spacecraft carries Commander Dave Bawman, Frank Poole, and the infamous HAL 9000 supercomputor. The computor malfunctions and disaster strikes when an enormous monolith floating adjacent to Jupiter is discovered. I cannot tell you the ending. It is fantastic and will blow you away.
This novel is re released in a brand new, updated paperback with a foreward by the author. Discover the triumph of technology in this revolutionary piece.
