3001

I don't think this was one of Clarke's best works (such as Childhood's End or A City and the Stars) but I liked it, and preferred it to the two previous novels in the series, 2010: Odyssey Two and 2061 Odyssey Three. Some readers felt it took too long for the plot to get going, but I liked the description of life a millenium hence, with the space elevators, etc. I found it a compelling vision, free of the overdetailed plot of 2061.
