Absolutely breathtaking.<BR/><BR/>I liked the film so much that I read the book, even though my eight-year-old mind was not really up for it (it was a lot harder than the Heinlein juveniles I was burning through).<BR/><BR/>Two years ago, I taught a middle school history class on the Cold War era. Two of the most important "texts" that I used were "Doctor Strangelove" (the nightmare of our present) and "2001" (the hope of a transcendant future).<BR/><BR/>Hell, I still believe in a future, built through technology and reason, that can transcend the depravity of our present.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Mr. Clarke.Dr. Psychohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674134879261502504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14759247.post-86350781409773877502008-03-20T10:41:00.000-07:002008-03-20T10:41:00.000-07:00Rendevous with Rama was my first Clarke novel thou...Rendevous with Rama was my first Clarke novel though I had read Asimov and others first.<BR/><BR/>2001 and it's sequels didn't work as well with me.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Clarke will be missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
