Who wrote the science fiction book 2001 and when was the film released?

The film 2001: A Space Odyssey, from the novel by Arthur C. Clarke, directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Keir Dullea, was released in 1968. It featured groundbreaking special effects and influenced many future science fiction films, such as Star Wars.The HAL 9000 computer is one of the most interesting characters in the film, seemingly becoming the film's villain. However, in the sequel 2010, HAL's behaviour is vindicated by his first instructor, Dr. Chandra. There has been much discussion about HAL's name, and it was widely believed that HAL is one letter behind the initials of IBM, but this was denied by the film makers. In the original Arthur C. Clarke novel, it states that HAL stands for Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer.
