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

4.0

Never seen the film. So let's get that out of the way. Also, I have an odd aversion to space type things. (Mainly due to breakfast style news pieces where faux fascination with superblood moons seems to crowd out critique and holding to account anti-democratic government actions)

However, I found this novel captivating. I was utterly immersed in this wide spanning fiction that took us from the dawn of mankind to the outer most limits of what life and creation could be. And slap bang in the middle a cautionary tale of AI.

I listened to this audiobook on Audible as part of the free trial. I will not be keeping it after the trial period. Support your local library. Many have a huge stock of ebooks and audiobooks.
