2001 A Space Odyssey, available here in Bangla translation, is Arthur C Clarke’s science fiction novel that grew alongside Stanley Kubrick’s famous film of the same name. The story follows astronauts on a mission to Jupiter, the strange black monolith they encounter, and the artificial intelligence HAL 9000 that turns against them.
The book is sometimes clearer than the film, especially in its quieter philosophical moments. The Bangla translation makes a classic of the genre accessible to Bengali readers.
