(Wait a minute, we can't call it "2001"       or even "2010"!) Basically the joke "How the Solar System Was Won" towards       which Clarke sold        Kubrick several short stories to use as vignettes. But we need a big-picture       wrapup to point to a deeper meaning. When it comes to this Chariots of the       Gods stuff I'd rather be an atheist. Maybe something that makes the migration       to space look less        like the white male european horde sweeping westward and look more like "The       March of the Penguins."       >        > --        > -Jack              There's a third book, 3001 (if I remember), that they could make.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
