KevinJS said:Crucially, 2001 was written before the first lunar landing, and it's precursor, a short story called "Sentinel", a considerable time before that. 2001 stands up to scrutiny amazingly well. Clarke and Kubrick were way ahead of their time. It is still my favorite SF, in both book and movie format.
Unfortunately, neither of them lived to meet Siri. I think they would have been pleased.
Hi Kevin,
Can't imagine them not being surprised to see those creative technical thinking products and services come to life.
I'm happy to have been born at a time where I've seen the birth and infancy of it all only just come to life.
Can't even fathom what our descendants will experience.
Oh, sorry, I forgot, Earth ends in only a couple more months !
