Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey is a landmark sci-fi epic that seeks to trace the place of humanity in the universe. The movie begins with a mysterious black monolith appearing on Earth during prehistoric times that sets off the ball of humanity's evolution. Cut to the future: another monolith lands on the Moon, which sends a signal toward Jupiter. A spaceship is launched into orbit, carrying Dr. Dave Bowman and the super-intelligent AI HAL 9000. However, in the case of this book, the computer turns out to be paranoid, forces the crew into a desperate life-or-death struggle against the computer, and makes the journey end with an apocalyptic, surreal expedition through space and time.
