2001: a Space Odyssey (Space Odyssey Series)

The classic science fiction novel that captures and expands on the vision of Stanley Kubrickâ‚¬s immortal filmâ‚¬"andÂ changed the way we look at the stars and ourselves.

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,Â 2001: A Space OdysseyÂ is a journey unlike any other.

This allegory about humanityâ‚¬s exploration of the universeâ‚¬"and the universeâ‚¬s reaction to humanityâ‚¬"is a hallmark achievement in storytelling that follows theÂ crew of the spacecraftÂ 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 rivalsâ‚¬"and perhaps threatensâ‚¬"the human mind.

Grappling with space exploration, the perils of technology, and the limits of human power,Â 2001: A Space OdysseyÂ continues to be an enduring classic of cinematic scope.
