This is probably my favorite block of all and I would say to anybody if they want to sort of go for this I think I put this in 100 mustre science section NOS. It's about you know how essence of carp can make you immortal there's a lot about tropical fish in it and you know it's rather like eating too much ice cream you have a great time when you're doing it but it does linger afterwards but in a in a good way actually so I really recommend.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Arthur C. ClarkeA novel that proposes an idea about how the human race might have begun and where it might be headed...given a little help from out there. A colaboration of ideas with director Stanley Kubrick in the late 1960's it begins at "the dawn of man" and then leaps to the year 2001 where a mission to Saturn (Jupiter in the film) is mounted to try and answer questions raised by the discovery of an ancient artifact dug up on the moon. Though not particularly fast paced, the science is good, and there are a few hair raising events. There are also interesting speculations about the future, such as the space shuttle, and a device eerily similar to an iPad. Leaving plenty of room for contemplation and the appreciation for the inevitable trials of space travel, this is one of the truly landmark pieces of hard science fiction.
