However, the unearthing of a strange black monolith buried on the moon will have significant consequences for the crew of the Discovery as it makes its way deep into the solar system.
Developed from a short story Clarke wrote called The Sentinel, where an alien artefact is found on the moon, 2001 A Space Odyssey expands this into a frontier-exploring novel where mankind, which has managed to build a space station above earth and set up a research base on the moon, is now expanding even further out into the solar system and sending men to Saturn. Kubric wanted a story to then form a script for the 1968 film of the same name.
The novel version of 2001 A Space Odyssey came to be because the director Stanley Kubrik wrote to Arthur C Clarke in 1964 to ask him if he had any ideas for a 'proverbial good science fiction movie'.
