A much needed change of pace from the usual blood and guts books I normally read. #todaysadventure 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke (Arrow, 1968) 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. Although the novel and screenplay were developed by both Kubrick and Clarke, some of the ideas are lifted from Clarke’s earlier stories like “Sentinel of Eternity” (1951) and “Encounter in the Dawn" (1953). #papernotpixels #currentlyreading #finalfrontier #toinfinityandbeyond #2001aspaceodyssey #arthurcclarke #kubrick #scifi #sciencefiction #hal9000 #icantletyoudothatdave #starchild #tycho #tychomonolith #tma1 #paperbacksfromspace
