Seconded. Especially since the book was based on the movie, which in turn was inspired by one of his short stories ("The Sentinel"). As a movie and as a book, 2001: A Space Odyssey was a perfect package, a wonderful self-contained universe.

Frank Capra could have made a sequel to It's a Wonderful Life. Walt Disney (Opps! I mean) Charles Dickens could have written a follow-up to A Christmas Carol. How much more enriched we all are because they didn't.
