SUMMARY:Arthur C. Clarke Double Bill: Book 1 - 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
DESCRIPTION:We are kicking off 2014 with two short classics by Arthur C. Cl
 arke. The first is 2001AD: A Space Odyssey and the second can been seen he
 re.\n\nWhen 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 artefact releases a powerful signal aim
 ed at Saturn. What sort of alarm has been triggered? To find out\, a manne
 d spacecraft\, the Discovery\, is sent to investigate. Its crew is highly 
 trained--the best--and they are assisted by a self- aware computer\, the u
 ltra-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 mur
 der\, and he controls every single one of Discovery's components. The crew
  must overthrow this digital psychotic if they hope to make their rendezvo
 us 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 nov
 el is much more detailed and intimate\, and definitely easier to comprehen
 d. Even though history has disproved its "predictions"\, it's still load )
