2001: A Space Odyssey

This book is truly amazing. I wasn't expecting so much. I was afraid that, as many Sci-Fi classics, it maybe didn't age very well. But fortunately I was proven wrong. I can really say it is Science Fiction, as all the astronomy and astrophysics elements as super accurate (at least for the time when it was first written). And in being scientifically correct it is not pretentious in it. The story is very well written and touches a lot of fundamental questions about who we are, what is consciousness, etc. The title itself gives a hint on what the book is about - a hyperbole of Homer's Odyssey on context of humanity and the vastness of space and time. I will definitely come back to it again. I would put this book easily as the best sci-fi classic I have ever read. Period.
