Hardback. Condition: Fine. Joe Wilson (illustrator). First Printing. 2016 First Printing. Fine Hardback. No inscriptions or bookplates. Fine slipcase. Bound in printed art paper and blocked in holographic foil with a design by the artist. Metallic slipcase. Set in Cartier Book with Univers for display. 240 pages. Frontispiece and 6 colour plates. 9.5" x 6.25". Every bit as ambitious and prophetic as the film that shared its inception, Arthur C. Clarke's novel remains a towering science-fiction classic. This is the first illustrated edition. Developed from Arthur C. Clarke's short story 'The Sentinel' and brainstormed together with legendary film director Stanley Kubrick, 2001: A Space Odyssey(1968) has had an indelible impact on both cinema and genre literature. Written alongside the screenplay, the book stands on its own merits as a visionary work: a powerful exploration of space, artificial intelligence and the destiny of humanity. This edition includes the foreword written jointly by Clarke and Kubrick, as well as Clarke's 'Back to 2001' preface written in 1989. Michael Moorcock, a long-standing colleague of Clarke's and an award-winning author, has provided a new introduction revealing much of his friend's personality, as well as casting a new light on the fractious relationship between Clarke and Kubrick. For this first illustrated edition, Joe Wilson has contributed seven colour illustrations that capture the book's vision of 2001's remarkable future, while the binding shimmers with holographic foil. For all its scientific realism, 2001: A Space Odyssey is also an exciting and entertaining read. Particularly in comparison to the film, it rattles along at a thrilling pace; Clarke moves us swiftly from the appearance of the first monolith on prehistoric earth which so startles and unnerves the man-apes who are the ancestors of the human race to a chilling episode on board the Discovery, when a mission to Saturn is jeopardised by the increasing mental instability of the ship's computer, HAL 9000. The final section of the book, in which the isolated David Bowman explores a 'Grand Central Station of the Galaxy', is a frightening, extraordinary and undoubtedly joyful trip to the very limits of human experience.
