Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In this fourth and final book in a 30-year publishing odyssey (following 2001, 2010, and 2061), 2001 astronaut Frank Poole, presumed dead and adrift in deep space near Jupiter, is recovered alive in the year 3001. Intent on saving humanity, he returns to Jupiter's satellite, Europa, to contact partner Dave Bowman, whose mind has become absorbed by a third monolith. Unfortunately, Clarke uses this book as a vehicle to showcase scientific ideas and breakthroughs at the expense of the story, spending too much time catching up Poole on what he's missed in the last 1000 years while failing to develop fully the current situation and rushing the conclusion. Recommended only to complete the quartet.

Much of the enjoyment of the book comes from . . . the high-tech thingamajigs that often differ interestingly from their present-day analogues and the barely disguised commentary on issues like prison reform, Freudian therapy, clitoridectomy, terrorism, religious mania and. Of course, computer security and complexity . . . fans will most likely embrace 3001 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
