Stanley Kubrick’s film *2001: A Space Odyssey* grew out of his collaboration with writer Arthur C. Clarke and drew, among other inspirations, on Clarke’s short story “The Sentinel.” It was not a straightforward adaptation of an already completed novel: Clarke and Kubrick developed the screenplay and Clarke’s novel in parallel, and the book adds explanations of its own and differs from the film.
