This obelisk shaped release takes us behind the scenes on Stanley Kubrick’s genre defining 2001: A Space Odyssey. Written and researched over several years by the outer space, special effects, and technology journalist Piers Bizony there’s everything you’ll ever need to know about HAL and the gang inside this compact slice of film history. So when/if you ever stop being amazed by the frankly quite astounding fold-out photos, pre-production paintings and conceptual illustrations you can then read the facts behind all those Kubrick myths and mysteries.  Whether you’re a fan of sci-fi, 20th century history or one of the finest film makers to ever walk this or any other planet then you need this book. In fact those pod bay doors aren’t getting opened until you buy it….
