Year 2021 Nothing New: Re-evaluating the Novel 2001: A Space Odyssey

Öz

In this article, the themes of the novel A Space Odyssey (1968) and how these themes are relevant to the context of the 1960’s are analysed. Secondly, the relationship among the themes of the novel, reader’s expectations and the reason for the popularity of the novel is scrutinized. As a result, it is claimed that the novel (thus, Clarke) - as a product of popular science fiction - successfully reaches popularity through reading and responding the minds of the 1960’s contemporary readers who are bewildered by the recent changes in the world. However, the calendars show the year 2021 but the media, Hollywood, public and the scientific researches still looks for the extra-terrestrial life, aliens, Mars and other possible artificial and robotic intelligence. It is a truth that the projections may occur in a long period of time but unlike the popular opinion since the publication of the novel and the film there seems no tremendous development for 60 years. It is true that some of the futuristic guesses and technologies came alive from the novel and the movie, however, thinking about the space travel, artificial intelligence, nuclear warfare and the dystopian images of the world remain unchanged in basic level with a few exceptions in the internet technologies.
