All of Clarke's novels are excellent, of course, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in the future society he envisioned in 3001...

The BrainCap? Forget it. You can't have personal freedom with something like that!

When this thread started a few weeks back, after watching 2001 again, I decided that I wanted to refresh my memory of 3001, and found a hardcover at Half-Price Books. Just started in reading it last night; haven't gotten much past where Frank is brought back and has met Dr. Wallace. Although I know I enjoyed the book when it was first published sixteen years ago, I can't recall much about it.

At least now I have a complete collection of the Space Odyssey series.

I started to re-read it also because of this thread. I haven't read it in over 20 years, its funny all the stuff you forget.

No kidding. I suppose it might be partly because I only read it once (as opposed to 2010, which I read a couple of times). Or because I've read so much else since.

Either way, it's always a pleasure to re-read an ACC novel.

It came out in 1997, and you haven't read it in over 20 years?

Far out, man.

Indeed that's what happen. Glad I wasn't too snarky, hate when simple misreads blow up. Much appreciated for keeping me straight.
