A very good science fiction novel!
The granddaddy of science fiction novels is well worth reading but still very esoteric in places.

What the book talks about is a cosmic conversion device that allows people to travel through unimaginable dimensions of time and space and travel between galaxies. Without the rapid and free transmission back and forth across time and space, interstellar travel by alien intelligence would be impossible.
imagination
How to understand it in the end? It can be said that as big as the heart is, the universe is big. Evolving to the end, it is the conscious body. Civilizations at higher latitudes may be more rational and intelligent
A thought-provoking novel with unparalleled imagination.
Just a stone tablet arrogantly demonstrated to mankind the huge energy of that civilization.
Awesome, touched the ceiling of imagination
No wonder Liu said that all his works are parodies of this book. It is indeed true.
Bowman became a "marionette" of distant and powerful ideas, a pawn on the chessboard of the gods. His actions followed the faint inspiration in his heart. Without "their" next instructions, he didn't know what to do. He becomes a tool that "they" set out to detect when they need it, and sleep in the black stone when they don't. If Hal hadn't come to the Blackstone later, and as a supercomputer gradually probed the interior of the Blackstone, Bowman's "independent consciousness" would not have risen.
Let's take a good look at what we can do.
Moonwatcher should be the first person to show their differences in public. Although Moon Watcher's wisdom was not shown, he gave me a different feeling. The current Moon-Watcher has no obvious emotions or obvious thoughts.
