True.
But if I remember authors right, 2001 never did come true.
Nor did 1984 - however,
meanwhile, I hear people call Orwell an optimist.
Anyway, the old SF visionaries are leaving us. Asimov, Lem, now Clarke;
the golden times of SF disappear.
Concerning 2001: I doubt I really want to have a HAL9000.
