Talk:3001: The Final Odyssey

message: Added Template:Infobox_Book to the page.  The cover photo is different from my cover photo, although the previous poster said that his cover photo was from the 1997 printing -- the copyright information in my book says that it is also part of the 1997 printing, so I'm not sure why the cover art is different.  Perhaps someone else can answer that question. Banaticus 08:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The cover photo is correct. I have this very 1997 edition, paperback with embossed letters and monolith, on my shelf. - 85.240.210.56 (talk) 21:10, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

text: BTW, should we also include the paperback ISBN? That would be 0 586 06624 1. - 85.240.210.56 (talk) 21:25, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Different Cover?

message: I thought that bit of speculation was good.  Although it was speculation, it wasn't something that Finduilas created himself, it essentially summarized/paralleled the last page of the book. Banaticus 19:42, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Speculation

message: Wouldn't it be the moon monolith that would have sent the message?  Afterall, 2001 + 1000 = 3001, and TMA-1 did send a massive signal.

replies: text: But TMA-1's signal was sent to Saturn (changed to Jupiter in the other novels), not outside the solar system. Besides, the book said that the "monolith HQ" was 450 light years away, not 500 (just finished the book yesterday). It doesn't add up correctly (450x2=900, not 1000), but maybe Clarke intended it that way... · AndonicO Talk 12:36, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Murdered by HAL

message: Removed the massive amount of OR pointing out inconsistencies between the novels. I've moved this statement to the talk page. It properly belongs to a discussion of the series as a whole: "However, Clarke consistently stated that each of the Odyssey novels takes place in its own separate parallel universe" ZarhanFastfire (talk) 04:00, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Differences OR

message: "They evolved from "primordial soup", and over the course of millions of years, became a space-faring species."
That would most certainly take longer than "millions of years". Is that an error in the book or in Wikipedia's plot section? 91.10.37.92 (talk) 22:02, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
