Sell Your 2001: A Space Odyssey Screen Worn Suit
2001: A Space Odyssey is a 1968 epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The screenplay was written by Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, and was inspired by Clarke’s 1951 short story “The Sentinel” and other short stories by Clarke. A novel released after the film’s premiere was in part written concurrently with the screenplay. The film, which follows a voyage to Jupiter with the sentient computer HAL after the discovery of an alien monolith affecting human evolution, deals with themes of existentialism, human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence, and the possibility of extraterrestrial life.

Stephen Hawking book signed from 1976, shortly before Hawking was not able to write his name due to ALS. Hawking signs this novel, ”October the First is Too Late”, on the blank page opposite the title page in his stilted, but legible handwriting, reading ”Stephen Hawking” in blue ballpoint; interestingly, some doodles appearing on the back page also have the same stilted quality, indicating they may have been done by Hawking as well. Signature was acquired by Professor Antal Bejczy, a NASA scientist who developed the Mars Rover Sojourner and who worked with Hawking at CalTech in the 1970s. Novel is a 1976 paperback printing by author Fred Hoyle who, beyond his writing pursuits, was principally a theoretical astronomer. Like Hawking, he worked at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge and also at CalTech where, during a sabbatical, he developed a theory of stellar nucleosynthesis. Book measures 4.5” x 7.125”. Toning to interior pages, and some creasing to covers. Very good condition. Sold for $7,500.

I don’t know what impression they got of things. I hope they found it interesting. Your father reminds me of Omar Bradley and your mother of you, though you (sound) speak exactly like your father. I’d like to see the Oppenheimer obituary. I enjoyed the piece you sent. I do hope you work things out to your satisfaction.” Signed “Stanley” in bold, black ink. Letter on one page is lined and measures 8″ x 12″. Very minor toning and folds throughout, else very good to near fine. Sold for $1,291.
