7. 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
This novel was written in 1968. It's a science fiction novel written
by Arthur C. Clarke. This novel was developed at the same time
than Stanley Kubrick's film version.
SUMMARY
An ancient and unseen alien race uses a device with the
appearance of a large crystalline monolith to investigate worlds
around the galaxy. This monolith is used by a monkey to survive.
Then two men discovered an allien monolith and they went to
investigate it.
18 months later there are only two awares men in the Discovery
One.

8. There's also a computer in the spacecraft. A man called Bowman
decided to investigate the monolith by himself.
But when he arrived to the monolith, he discovered that it was a
stars' door. Bowman travelled in a serie of tunnels and he went
to a big red star. When he arrived to the star he appeared in a
room and he started to sleep. When he woke up he was an
other person. Then he popped nuclear weapons in the Earth
and he discovered that he was the owner of the world.

9. NOTEBOOK'S FRAGMENT
I think that it's a very interesting fragment, because it explains the
importance that the weapons have got in men's life, although he uses
the weapons with against himself.
