Been meaning to read this book for a while since I love speculative fiction, Arthur C. Clarke, and the movie. I was lucky enough to see the movie in 70mm last year, and it really was kind of mind-blowing.

Finally picked up the beautiful Penguin Galaxy edition of this and read it today. It really is great. Complements the movie really well. If the movie is all "show, don't tell", the book is all "tell, don't show"-- and it really works. It's classic big-idea science fiction.
