Arthur C. Clarke was already one of the most famous SciFi
writers of all time before collaborating with Stanley Kubrick on
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, so how did he feel about the release of the
film just beating his novel by a few months and ultimately
overshadowing it? In episode 229, Luke & James discuss a
potentially tarnished legacy, a unique form of collaboration, a
difference of tone, and how changes to HAL 9000 alters the themes
of the story.
At the end they cast their votes on which was ultimately better:
the book or the movie!
