maybe he was channeling Hubbard.
I wonder if people who's minds reside in future-fantasy go a little bonkers because of it.
also, I agree that 2001 was the best, but it's a close race with 2010.
2010 felt like hard sci-fi where 2001 had that acid-tinged feel that most sci-fi in the late 60's strived for. not that that's BAD (I eat it up), but I like the apocalyptic feel of the second story.
