Maybe I am a Raman, they do everything in three's. This is my third time to read or listen to it. You can not consider yourself knowledgeable in Science fiction literature if you have not read this book. The whole idea of a spaceship like this was amazing to begin with, but if it was to happen, my money is Clarke will have pictured it more accurately then anybody else. His writing is not as sensational as some of today's writing, but his writing is more realistic. I've mentioned it before, but when Clarke writes, it is like you are there or your watching it on the news. Clarke writes in a conservative matter, but he has sees the future better then anyone. You may say you have heard it all before, but with the exception of marriage contracts (Robert Heinlein) you heard it here first. Simps, Biots,holograms, spaceguard,aerobatic flyer,a tenth planet, women in space, marriage contracts, a man with a wife on two different planets, a woman with two husbands, generation ships, etc.
