Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece by Michael Benson

If you adore the 1968 sci-fi masterpiece as much as I do, then you’re going to devour this book. Yes, Kubrick’s genius was and still is unparalleled, and Clarke’s prescience was remarkable, but this book is really about the astonishing depth of collaboration between each and every member of the cast and crew—from the lowly errand boy to the groundbreaking special effects team. Fascinating and inspirational, Space Odyssey pays tribute not only to one of the best movies ever made, but also to the act of creation itself.
