A Main Selection of the Science Fiction Book Club(R)Selected by the Literary Guild(R) and Doubleday Book Club(R) "3001 is not just a page-turner, plugged in to the great icons of HAL and the monoliths, but a book of wisdom too, pithy and provocative."--New Scientist The body of Frank Poole, lost for a thousand years since the computer HAL caused his death en route to Jupiter, is retrieved, revived--and enhanced.
