      - Right, it's in the book Clarke hastily wrote while mad at Kubrick. And it's at the start of 2010. -- nm - David Sep 9, 21:07 2
        
        I've heard both "it's in the script but was cut because it didn't jive with the effects," and "just something Clarke wrote on his own." -- nm - mafic Sep 9, 21:09 1
        
        Kubrick apparently removed a lot of Clarke's narration without telling the writer. Clarke loved the film until he saw the final cut. -- nm - David Sep 9, 21:17
