In fact you could argue that Clarke has a more profound reason for not 'caring' about his characters. The book/film is not about persons or characters but about the entire human race. It is about mans place in the entire evolution of the universe.
Is he a starchild? or made of simple mechanics?
In fact isn't HAL the most human of them all?
I sometimes feel like screaming at those people who disregard books like this simply because they are unable to look beyond their own psychology. But maybe thats just me. |
