2010 is a very auspicious year. Although in many ways I am glad Mr. Clarke is not around to be disappointed at where we are as a species. Check out the movie adaptation, it is very good.
People, I give you 2010 (well, in a few days, be patient!)... truly, we are living in the future. Now where is my goddamned flying car already?
Thanks heaps to the awesome artist behind these delightful cartoons -

The book (2001) was much less... umm... drug induced and trippy, and actually made a lot more sense than the movie. Having said that though, the movie (made in the late 1960's) still has some bloody amazing special effects which still look good even today.
As a movie 2010 was better, you're right

The black monoliths are actually from the classic science-fiction books 2001: A Space Odyssey and the sequel 2010: Odyssey 2 written by Arthur C. Clarke many decades ago. Both were made into movies. They are alien artifacts and used primarily as communications devices
The shadow/reflection of the spaceship in the monolith is called the Discovery and is a very famous one from those books/movies.

Pffft, I should be so lucky. Naw, I don't think anyone mainstream would even want to touch my stories with a barge-pole unless all the gay stuff was completely scrubbed out of them. And while I am proud of them and others like them, they are not quite good enough.
But thank you for the vote of confidence nonetheless I love you longtime 10 dollah.

Aww man, yeah this living in the future thing is a load of bullshit really, innit? No flying cars, space-ships to other planets, robot butlers, intelligent computers, meals in pill form. None of the stuff we were promised when we were younger.
I love Arthur C. Clarke, he was such a talented writer. RIP, Sir.

Epic. :D The flare on the wine glass is an especially nice touch.
Flying cars are, theoretically available, just not practical. Personally, I'm not springing for one until they perfect the technology to the point where I can just open the doors on my Countach Lamborghini and have them act as fully functional wings.

Wot, no Delorean? Where is your North American pride!
Yeah, you can get "convertibles" but those aren't true flying cars though. It's just so disappointing. And no fucking robot maid - mate, I tell you the dust and trash is REALLY piling up in here. If they don't invent one soon I will be forced to do the cleaning myself.
OH THE HUMANITY
