The writing process of "2001: A Space Odyssey" is the stuff of cinema legend. Stanley Kubrick wanted to make a science fiction movie about humanity's place in the universe -- one that would be careful to capture the awe, mystery, and grandeur of such a meditation. He initially looked to an Arthur C. Clarke short story called "The Sentinal," but would ultimately collaborate with Clarke more directly. Their screenplay for "2001" and Clarke's novel were written simultaneously. It's hard to say if the screenplay is based on the book or if the book is a novelization of the screenplay.
"2001: A Space Odyssey" is full of cosmic mysteries and eerie iconography that may seem a little baffling at first.

Google hilariously lent a hand in Hollywood’s favorite movies to advertise its new software, including Assistant and other hardware, during the 2019 Academy Awards Sunday night.
The first scene shows Keir Dullea in 2001: A Space Odyssey when his character Dave Bowman asks Hal to “Open the pod bay doors.”
After the ship doesn’t do as commanded, Bowman looks to a Google Home Mini to get the job done.
“Hey Google, open the pod bay doors,” Bowman says in the clip.
Next up is Ed Helms as The Hangover character uses his Pixel 3 Xl to show him the wild photos from the night before.
