Arthur C. Clarke on 2001: A Space Odyssey [2000]

Arthur C. Clarke introduction to the audio book.

“2001: A Space Odyssey” is a 1968 science fiction novel by British writer Arthur C Clarke. It was developed concurrently with Stanley Kubrick’s film version and published after the release of the film. Clarke and Kubrick worked on the book together, but eventually only Clarke ended up as the official author. The story is based in part on various short stories by Clarke, including “The Sentinel” (written in 1948 for a BBC competition, but first published in 1951 under the title “Sentinel of Eternity”).
