“The Two Sides of Scientific Discovery” ITF Read: 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968 novel)

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!
