Once again I am about to write the same sentence that I wrote about a good science fiction book called “Project Hail Mary”… This is how a science fiction book is written, with science in it, not just science it is called hard science and it is a book genre. Grandmaster Arthur C. Clark was basically giving us all a class in how to write a science fiction book without making it into a fantasy. Here I must confess that I believe science fiction and fantasy are basically the same thing but are the two sides of the same coin. Comment and tell me what you think?
Before you judge me, I said the writer wrote hard science fiction, which means if you write carefully, the reader never even notices that it is basically fantasy because all the facts and research backs you up and it becomes reality even some of the theories were never tested. One example of magic, fantasy, and Science Fiction combined is the series called “Darkness (World at War)” you can check one of these book's review here, and one more series that I am reading is about a boy who becomes immortal and according to the writer, she is writing this series as a mix of almost all the genres, it means she is going to add magic, science fiction, and fantasy and many more genres in her upcoming books and I am so excited for that. At the moment only two books are out. Check the books called Queen of Egypt and Pharaoh’s destruction from the series In Pursuit Of Death by Ruby.K Gold.
Okay back to the book I am supposed to review, 2001: a Space Odyssey. Basically, it doesn’t matter what I write about this book, it is always going to be one of the greatest science fiction books of all time. It is not huge like Sir Arthur C. Clark’s other mammoth series but it leaves something with you and makes you wonder about yourself, the universe, and creation.
Do not watch the movie until you are done with the book or if you already watched it, then read the book to understand what was happening because the movie can't show you what is being thought and what is in the background of some things that happened on screen.
Without giving away anything, I can only tell the reader that this book is the story of humanity and much more if you go deep into the story.
Synopsis:
“The classic science fiction novel that captures and expands on the vision of Stanley Kubrick’s immortal film—and 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, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a journey unlike any other.
This allegory about humanity’s exploration of the universe—and the universe’s reaction to humanity—is a hallmark achievement in storytelling that follows the crew of the spacecraft 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 rivals—and perhaps threatens—the human mind.
Grappling with space exploration, the perils of technology, and the limits of human power, 2001: A Space Odyssey continues to be an enduring classic of cinematic scope.”
