Stanley Kubrik's 2001: a space odyssey is one of my favourite movies. i lost count of how many times i rewatched it. a impromptu visit to the bookstore gave me the discovery that there is a book behind the movie, and with no hesitation, i got it, to discover that the book was co-written by the man himself, stanley. 

if you are a fan of the movie and was confused by its open to interpretation ending (no, really, kubrik stated that he wanted the end to be open to everyone to speculate), the book goes more into details to understand the ending, it gets more into the psyche of each character, focusing more on their thoughts and feelings. 

this revived my love of sci-fi and i really need to get into that more
