2018: A GOOGLE EARTH ODYSSEY
Dan Richter signing a copy of my and Simone Odino’s book “2001 between Kubrick and Clarke” at the opening gala event for the New York exhibition #Envisioning2001. The book chronicles the making of Kubrick’s sci-fi masterpiece and explores his relationship with author Arthur C. Clarke by making extensive use of never before seen material from the Kubrick Archive and the Clarke Collection. With a foreword by Dan Richter, in which he fondly remembers his time with Stanley and Arthur on the “Dawn of Man” set. #stanleykubrick #kubrick #arthurcclarke #2001aspaceodyssey #filippoulivieri #simoneodino #danielrichter #mybook #selfpublished (presso Museum of the Moving Image) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7ewNFIoBL6/?igshid=3wbv4mcqxhaz
Arthur C Clarke is probably one of my favourite sci-fi writers, I love the atmosphere he establishes in each book that reveals a disturbing and fascinating future for humankind. I’ve been waiting a while to read this well known book. I haven’t even seen the film. What I can say is that it was shorter than I expected but no less imaginative and bright. Since I’ve read some of the Rama series before I could see connections between the two books. In both Rama and 2001 a space odyssey the alien life forms do seem to be extremely advanced which makes it more mysterious. However in 2001 a space odyssey the alien life we knew much more about and the ending. SPOILER ALERT!
The ending was groundbreaking, the character was in a alien invented room, representing an earth like room.I love the idea of the aliens being beyond a body due to their evolution and intelligence. The idea that they were just too late to witness them in their galaxy as physical life forms was so interesting. The portal made by the alien forms that the main character discovers and goes through is mesmerising; there’s an overwhelming Myriad of ideas and discoveries flashing before his eyes!
It was a short read and a refreshing one at that at the time as I was alongside it reading herodotus ( the histories) which I’ve just finished. There will be a review of that soon as obscure of a book that is, it’s a difficult read for anyone therefore I read light books as well.
Anyway I definelty reccomend reading this book it’s worth it one hundred percent and it’s not the most challenging read. If you have spare time definelty read it! I think I found this book in a charity shop so You don’t need to spend too much money on it at all.
