Arthur C. Clarke

The NYPR Archive Collections | Jan 1, 2000

Patricia Marx and science-fiction author Sir Arthur C. Clarke discuss his recent collaboration with filmmaker Stanley Kubrick on the screenplay for "2001: A Space Odyssey". Clarke muses on the century to come, prophesying the imminence of space travel, contact with alien life, and the potential for human immortality. Recorded a year before the iconic moon-landing, this interview captures a singular moment of prescience and optimism for world entering into the future.
