2001

2001: A Space Odyssey is another classic by Arthur C. Clarke that deserves its enduring popularity. As a fan of science fiction and Arthur C. Clarke, it was high time I finally got around to reading it. 2001: A Space Odyssey covers the wonder of space travel and first contact with an alien species, and it has a fair amount of conflict with the untrustworthy ship AI. The novel also provided a view from 1968 of an imagined future of space travel. We're clearly far behind Clarke's imagined manned space program, but it was really interesting to compare his dreams of the future to our recent past.
