Publisher's summary
In 3001: The Final Odyssey, Arthur C. Clarke brings the greatest and most successful science fiction series of all time to its magnificent, stunningly unforeseen conclusion. As we hurtle toward the new millennium in real time, Clarke brilliantly - daringly - leaps 1,000 years into the future to reveal a truth we are only now capable of comprehending. An epic masterpiece at once dazzlingly imaginative and grounded in scientific actuality, 3001 is a story that only Arthur C. Clarke could tell.
Featured Article: The Best Sci-Fi Book-to-Film/TV Adaptations
Beyond raising fascinating possibilities, the best works of science fiction ask big questions: What does it mean to be human? What will the future look like? What mysteries does the universe hold, and what do they mean for life on Earth? Whether you choose to escape via audiobook, movie, or television, these science fiction stories are truly out of this world—in all their incarnations.

Poor ol' Frank
Where does 3001 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It's really not bad. Scott Brick has become one of my more preferred, American accented narrators. The story itself is amusing to me as I'm a huge fan of 2001, 2010, 2061.
What was one of the most memorable moments of 3001?
Poor ol' Frank gets taken down a peg or 2 - and that's saying something. He's so blown away by the technology available in this new millennium he finds himself in. I really enjoyed hearing Scott Brick read the bits of the book that referred to 2010. I'm pretty geeky about all that, so it was a pleasure to revisit it. He does a great job.
What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His easy-sounding, laid back manner lends itself to the realm of the 2001 series. (I just couldn't imagine what could be done with the story itself - they FIND FRANK?? lol - I was gladly mistaken. I should have more faith in one of my favorite authors whose stories have truly touched my life.)
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes.
Any additional comments?
I really recommend this novel and audible version.

Fmailiar Characters, no action
What made the experience of listening to 3001 the most enjoyable?
Hearing the conclusion to the 2001 series....sort of. It definitely leaves the door wide open for the eventual confrontation with the makers of the monoliths in the year 4001 give or take a century or two. That could potentially be much more interesting than the events in 3001.
Any additional comments?
It seems that at every major plot point in the book there is a build up, then it skips over to the aftermath. There is almost no real-time description of events. It became very frustrating after a while. There could have been some really interesting stuff in there but it's just jumped over with maybe a brief summary. A majority of the book was Clarke's meticulous description of the technologies of the era, which is great, but the story suffers. I found the footnotes at the end to be much more entertaining than the book itself.
Overall the technology of 1,000 years from now seems a bit dated now. It's a projection of the technology, culture, and happenings of the 1990's into the future. Given the leap in technology in the 20 years following, 3001 doesn't seem to hold up as well as I would have expected. The retro future of 2001 and 2010 where the cold war continued and it's basically the Popular Mechanics future of the 1960's seems to work better.

Not much of an Odyssey
What did you love best about 3001?
Bringing back of the characters from the 2001's book
What was one of the most memorable moments of 3001?
The meeting with Dave
Which scene was your favorite?
The meeting with Dave
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No
Any additional comments?
I was hoping that the audio book would take the listener on an Odyssey through the monolith to intergalactic intrigue, not a rehash of our solar system.

unsatisfying conclusion
while i always appreciate Clarke’s methodical, unemotional writing style, this left far too much unstated. it was deeply frustrating to never have a clear understanding of how Poole was resuscitated after so long, surprisingly low on actual story in favor of long descriptions of the world in 3001 (interesting yes, but not compelling enough to feel like a worthy successor to the previous novels) and incredibly unsatisfying in how it concluded with such a whimper. very disappointed Clarke fan.

An excellent epilogue to the Odyssey series
From one of the great masters of hard Science Fiction, this is the last book of his Odyssey series. Starting with Odyssey 2001, a project created together with Stanley Kubrick as a basis of the same titled film, Clarke created a multiverse of mankind's possible future in a Cosmos that we are not alone.
A notable scientist himself, Clarke does not fail to maintain the feeling of plausibility when inserting imagined technical advances to his storyline; at the same time he manages to show the interactions of humans who still retain many of the character traits we have today while clearly affected by the changes in human mentality he imagines to have occurred in the future.
Thoroughly enjoyable even as a standalone book but even more so as a conclusion to the entire series.

A rather bland, unspiritted revisitation
The narrative starts out promissingly but fails to maintain reader's interest after the initial three or four chapters. There's also some heavy reuse of material from previous novels - whole passages are simply copy-pasted with only minor editing. Just as bad as 2061.

Loved it, I knew I would, as when I was still able to read a whole novel, I read this one four times (with intervals between) and now being able to just listen is great. I would have been very disappointed if it had been abridged!

OK, Not Great
What did you like best about 3001? What did you like least?
I liked the idea of completing the set of these Clarke stories, having listened to the other three.
This book is OK, but in the main is just description of supposed life in 3001, with a minor plot tacked on. I felt it was not one of Clarke's best.
Has 3001 put you off other books in this genre?
No.
What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Scott Brick is always a reliable reader with very few mistakes made.
Could you see 3001 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
No, the plot is too thin.

Best Forth Book In a Trilogy Ever
Whilst the heights of the 1st book in the Quad-trilogy may not have been reached this forth offering it does nicely tie up the set. Revisiting Frank's story raises question of living beyond your quota, and the ability to adapt. This is a theme Arthur C Clarke visits and revisits through the Space Oddessy stories.

A bit of an Anti-Climax really
Not quite the ending I had in mind. But still a good read. I would have liked a "bit more of the ending"

clarke on the rocks
4th time around and even hal would be wanting to end it all, odyssey 3 kicks into high gear in the last chapter only for the final odyssey book to bubble along with regurgitated quotes from the earlier books and a lack of drama, leaving what should have been condensed into the final chapter of odessey3 .

Hardly Space Opera
A rewarding ending to the Odyssey story.
Fragmented at times where excursions occur.
Overall, a well spun narrative.

It has been 40 years since the publication of this classic science-fiction novel that changed the way we look at the stars and ourselves. From the savannas of Africa at the dawn of mankind to the rings of Saturn as man adventures to the outer rim of our solar system, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a journey unlike any other.

Quando un enigmatico monolite viene trovato sotto la superficie lunare, gli scienziati non immaginano che quell'antico e straordinario manufatto abbia più di tre milioni di anni né che, una volta riportato alla luce, cominciasse a inviare un potente segnale indirizzato verso l'orbita di Saturno. Che cos'è veramente quel monolite? A chi è rivolto quel segnale? Per scoprirlo, la nave spaziale Discovery parte alla volta di Giapeto, satellite di Saturno.

Story
2130. Un objet spatial non identifié est localisé dans le système solaire : c'est un cylindre aux proportions extraordinaires - 30 km de long -, et qui se déplace au tiers de la vitesse de la lumière - 100.000 km/h. Il sera baptisé Rama. La curiosité cède cependant le pas à l'effarement quand l'équipage du vaisseau spatial "Endeavour" parvient à pénétrer dans son habitacle. Car cet "artefact", qui semble n'avoir jamais subi la moindre altération du temps, contient en son sein un véritable monde miniature.
