  Clarke's imagination, sense and attention to details make 2010 a worthy sequel to 2001. If you're willing to overlook the inconsistencies between the two books (Clarke claims that 2010 is not a direct sequel), then you'll find 2010 a very satisfying read.

  The novel is full of wonderful ideas such as putting Americans and Russians together on a collaborative effort to "rescue" a spaceship, discovering life on Europa, and turning Jupiter into a mini-star. But what impresses me most is Clarke's take on the question: "If the universe is full of intelligent life, why don't we hear from them?" Maybe they are prevented by higher powers. Maybe our evolution is being watched, and extraterrestrial influence is not allowed - yet.

  a must read if one has known 2001 via the original novel or the movie. After its inauguration in 1968,the riddle of the monolith is haunting the minds of our generation for decades. So once the second movie is released, everyone immediately go and see it. It was no less influential than Harry Potter now but only restricted to the academics. The movies is well made. It is historical as it was made before the USSR dismantled.
  Surely it needs far less avante garde knowledge of astronomy, but is very heartwarming , shedding tears of many during the time of cold war and before the pulldown of the Berlin Wall.--------the cooperation of USA and USSR, utterly impossible those years.
