After a short break, we're back with a brand new episode of the Science Fiction 101 podcast!
This time we look at 2001: A Space Odyssey, the classic 1968 film directed by Stanley Kubrick, and the novel written by Arthur C. Clarke.
We also mention Clarke's Lost Worlds of 2001, in which the author reveals some of the left-over bits of story development which got dropped from the film and the novel. And various film andTV properties possibly inspired by 2001, such as: Moon (2009), Contact (1997), Space: 1999 (1975-7).
Then Colin springs a quiz on an unsuspecting Phil. A perfect match for the audio medium, it's a quiz based on images and colours! And Star Trek. Perhaps you'd like to try it yourself?
And we finish with our usual round-up of recommendations of past, present and future science fiction. Colin points us to Andre Norton's Witch World series. Phil recommends the 1985 Aurum Film Encyclopedia Vol 2: Science Fiction, edited by Phil Hardy. Other items referenced include the Robert Bloch non-SF book Firebug (1961), whose opening chapter is actually written by Harlan Ellison!
