Revisiting 2001: A Space Odyssey

If you too are a fan of Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey, you should enjoy this 1976 recording of Arthur C. Clarke's reading from his book that inspired the film (which itself was inspired by his short story The Sentinel).

And as an extra treat, I included a video from 2014 where Dr. Brian Cox and actors from the film discuss its meaning then and now. 

Great stuff that shows us how science fiction can drive a civilization towards a better future, as well as a better understand of itself.
