Clarke (with help from his way cool friend & astronomer Carl Sagan) gave Kubrick the proper tools & knowledge to portray this movie in a very realistic way. Humanizing & demonizing technology, capturing the desperation & emptiness of space & in a more indirect way they gave us a chance to realize we are our own worst enemies... trapped on a little bitty speck of blue dust floating thru the vast universe... infested with stupid monkeys.
Stanley Kubrick on Clarke, "...he had the kind of mind the world can't get enough of: an array of imagination, intelligence, knowledge, and quirkish curiosity."
Monkey's speed to you Mr. Clarke... I hope your journey is in Technicolor.
