A review by misterwombat
2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke

4.0

If you've seen the Kubrick film you'll be happy to know this is much more fast paced and fun. Very interesting and at times exciting classic sci-fi. By today's standards there isn't much action, but there is some. Clark is more interested in speculating a) where humanity will be with technological progress and the ability to explore our solar system and b) what potential alien life may look like and accomplish. This feels a lot like Project Hail Mary in its focus on discovery and survival.

There isn't much character development or really any insight into the human condition so it was a bit disappointing in that regard.
