I had no idea it was also a book! Ok, that sounds like what I need to do.

The books are better for content, as is usually the case. There's so much more you can do with words that can't be translated well into visuals. I didn't care much for 3001, but 2001,2010, and 2061 were good. Even though 2061 both messed up the warning from 2010 as well as the epilogue.

You’re in for a treat! Arthur C. Clarke wrote the book and is probably my favorite sci-fi author. If you like it be sure to check out his other books too.
