2001: A Space Odyssey

Written when landing on the moon was still a dream, and made into one of the
most influential films of all time, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY remains a classic
work of science fiction fifty years after its original publication.

The discovery of a black monolith on the moon leads to a manned expedition
deep into the solar system, in the hope of establishing contact with an alien
intelligence. Yet long before the crew can reach their destination, the voyage
descends into disaster . . .

Brilliant, compulsive and prophetic, Arthur C. Clarke's timeless novel tackles
the enduring theme of mankind's place in the universe.
