Amazon.com Review:
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
Product Description:
A strange enigma is discovered on the moon. The discovery has great implications and men are sent out deep into the solar system. But things begin to go horribly wrong ... Arthur C. Clarke collaborated with film director, Stanley Kubrick, writing the novel while Kubrick created the film.

- 2001: A Space Odyssey
This is a gift but it came very promptly. And it was exactly what I ordered.
Rating: - The book that started it all
The most realistic depiction of space travel I have ever seen or read (if you don't count the NASA documentaries). The incredible meets the mundane every day. It isn't better than the movie, but neither is it worse. Personally, I prefer it to the movie because Clarke can actually explain to you what is happening during Bowman's transformation, whereas in the film you are stuck with some crazy surrealism and a guess as to what has become of Bowman.
Rating: - space nerds unite
This is a long lost classic for the true scifi fan. For having been written 40 decades ago the book is surprisingly accurate in terms of technology. Other then Hal's brain taking up an entire room Arthur C was very close to current trends in technology. I loved it and right away read 2010. I have 2065 and 3001 on order.
Rating: - Much Better Than the Movie
I found 2001: Space Odyssey the Movie to be confusing, boring at times, and vastly overrated. The book, however, is fantastic. Plot details that I feel you couldn't possibly glean from the movie are clear in the book. The story actually makes sense. Questions like, "Why did HAL go crazy?", "What exactly happened at the end?", and "What was the significance of the ape-men at the beginning?" all become clear.
Besides the plot, the book was quite satisfying for me on a technical level. ... Read More

- Arthur C. Clark: Travelogues of the Mind
I don't know that I would classify Clark as a creator of great fiction; as mentioned in other reviews, the "human equation" in his works is largely missing. Clark excels and creating vivid descriptions of technology and alien grandeur, but his books are a bit lifeless at they have almost no character developement or interesting dialog.
I've read most of his books, and find he is a great alternative in those times I would find myself reaching for an atlas or a National Geographic. Honestly, ... Read More
