To me, Kubrick's film version of 2001 was a complete and self-contained work of art that required no further support. It took me by force.
I remember Stanislaw Lem's name, from the 1960s. I read much of his work, but remember only one, "The Last Theorem of Dr. Limfater". I may have misspelled "Limphater" or "Limvatter". I was in my pre-teens and teens in the 1960, when I read Lem's work, and I don't remember much of it. I remember a humorous piece, which was copped and made all kinds of versions of it in Western cinema (not Westerns) and literature. Or maybe that piece by Lem was a take on someone else's work as well. (No spoilers here, though I remember the piece quite well.)
