This allegory about humanity's exploration of the universe-and the universe's reaction to humanity-is a hallmark achievement in storytelling that follows the crew of the spacecraft Discovery as they embark on a mission to Saturn. Their vessel is controlled by HAL 9000, an artificially intelligent supercomputer capable of the highest level of cognitive functioning that rivals-and perhaps threatens-the human mind. ER -
