It doesn’t sound like I can change your mind regarding your attitude towards the book, but if anything it’s a film of the book, not the other way around. Clarke details his partnership with Kubrick and the process they went through in forging the story together in his introduction to the book. I can understand being sniffy about novelisations of films (I think the only one I have ever read is Alien 3 by Alan Dean Foster), but with 2001 it really was a unique creative process. Also, it’s Arthur C. Clarke, not some hack.
This is a true classic as far as I'm concerned. On my "buy a nice version for the shelf" list.Raiziel wrote:56. I Am Legend by Richard Matheson.

Just as 2010: Odyssey Two was not a direct sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, so this book is not a linear sequel to 2010. They must all be considered as variations on a theme, involving many of the same characters and situations, but not necessarily happening in the same universe.
