Fantasy is probably the easiest way we can get closer to the future

When it comes to space, everyone first thinks of its own vastness and mystery, even if the technology has been so developed today, but people are still tireless in the exploration of the unknown in space.

This kind of exploration is divided into many forms, and the most cutting-edge and high-end is of course the many scientists engaged in aerospace work. But there is also a kind of person who uses his imagination and the pen in his hand to explore the universe in his heart.

Arthur Clark is undoubtedly the best of these, as a science fiction writer, the first thing you need to deal with is the relationship between "Ko" and "Illusion". Here, science is science. Illusion is fantasy. Because if there are too many scientific and technological elements in science fiction, it will make people feel that this is a popular science book, and if there are more elements of fantasy, it will inevitably be reduced to a fantasy novel. As a science fiction novelist, Arthur Clarke did a very good job of the trade-off between "ko" and "illusion", and his work was fantasized according to the existing level of technology at that time, which is also the excellence of this work.

But when you first open the book, you will have a strong sense of ill-title, because the moon-looking person written at the beginning of the work is actually an ape-man who has not yet fully evolved into an adult, and the author may tell us through this description that people's exploration of the moon has begun as early as before man has become a man. Until your patience allows you to persist after reading the first 35 pages of the book,

Bowman probably never imagined in his life that he would one day be the protagonist of any event until he took part in the exploration of Saturn.

During this operation, a clever computer named Hal misjudged that something went wrong with AE-35 (a component responsible for receiving Earth's communication signals), paralyzing the entire spaceship, and Bowman survived with his luck as the protagonist, and after a certain period of time, he entered a building built by alien life, and everything in the building was familiar to Bauman, then he fell asleep, and finally, he was reborn, even if he was alone.

There are many theories about the meaning of the last chapter of the book, but what exactly is it, is it really important?

It's amazing how hard you can imagine in the context of the present time that this is a novel published in 1968, even before the Apollo moon landing, and now it seems that the content of the book was like a prophecy at the time, communication satellites, exploration of other planets beyond The Earth, now seem to have become a reality in some way. Therefore, the author of Du Yu's book, I am very admired.

This book tells us that thought is the nearest gateway for humanity to the future. No matter how imaginative it is.
