O'Brien. Books such as The Sands of Mars, Expedition to Earth, The End of Childhood, Tales of Ten Worlds or The City and the Stars endorse him as the narrator who has examined the future of space travel with greater competence and lucidity, but there is no doubt that 2001: A Space Odyssey, is his most famous work.
