Why read it?
1 author picked 2010 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I always wondered what happened to “Hal,” the intelligent computer, at the end of the story in 2001: A Space Odyssey. In this sequel, I found the answer to nearly all the questions that lingered after I read the earlier novel.

From Elizabeth's list on The best books that tell exceptional stories of flight by aircraft and spaceships.
