I bought extra dozens of 5x8 and 8.5x11 lined note pads for
post-EMP
times. Those and extra mechanical pencils. They could double
as
gifts from the primitive race to the aliens in exchange for an
AutoDoc
and a ton of medical nannites, whenever that happens.

:-)

What are the odds that the aliens would have nannites tailored
for the human race? :-)

When they see our cute and primitive writing tools, they'll make
them
specially for us. Remember, THEY are the advanced race.

IT'S A COOKBOOK!!!

I remember that episode,'To Serve Man'. LOL! One Step Beyond,
right? Watched it religiously, along with Twilight Zone, Outer
Limits, and all the Star Treks. I'm seriously hoping we meet much
more neutral and friendly aliens, and that they're waiting for us
to
outgrow the warlike stage (which we've been in for far too long)
before they contact us.

That and "The Sentinel" (alien beacon) were combined into "2001".

The movies in Clarke's 200x series were the only ones never
understood
by a single person outside of Clarke himself, including the
director.
Did you read about Kubrick's letter to him about 2010? ROTFLMAO!

IIRC, the Monolith was a stargate to its creators' realm, 150 light
years away which is why the habitable space they created for Bowman
had Louis XVI furniture from 150 years in our past. After evolving to
the next stage he returned immediately because they no longer needed
stargates to travel.
