  • Description

    2001: A Space Odyssey is one of the most popular science fiction novels of all time. The novel’s forte lies in intertwining hard science with boundless fantasy immaculately.

    Summary Of The Book

    Long ago in the prehistoric times, a gargantuan monolith descended on earth. It facilitated the evolution and transformation of the primitive human civilization into a race of super intelligent beings. But what were the origins of the gigantic slab of stone? What was its significance? Where did it go? All these cosmic question are answered by Arthur Charles Clarke in his magnum opus, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
    2001: A Space Odyssey is based on six distinct predominant themes, namely evolution of mankind, inherent hazards associated with the advancement of technology, space exploration, technological glitches, perils of nuclear warfare, and necessary equipment and resources for a space voyage.

    This proverbial science fiction book provides a ring side view of a space expedition to millions of readers who have limited knowledge of astronomy. The book was conceived alongside an eponymous movie directed by renowned director Stanley Kubrick. Actually, the novel is loosely based on a short story titled The Sentinel written by Clarke in 1948.

    There are three sequels to this epic novel and they are 2010: Odyssey Two, 2061: Odyssey Three, and 3001: The Final Odyssey.

    Mind boggling

    an extremely interesting read. not just a story about glactic wars, but a highly reasonably concept with an amazingly descriptive style of writing. a fast roller-coaster ride - this story will surely push your mind and thoughts into overdrive. far, far more informative and explanatory than the movie, halfway into the book u'll understand how different the book and the movie are.
