He mentioned 2001. Yes. But I think he's referring to scenes in 2010, which was Arthur C. Clark's sequel to 2001.

Why people recommend it

2010: Odyssey Two by Arthur C. Clarke is a celebrated science fiction novel that serves as a direct sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, continuing humanity's journey into the cosmos and exploring advanced extraterrestrial interventions. The book was referenced on StarTalk Radio when Neil deGrasse Tyson brought up Arthur C. Clarke's sequel while addressing a listener's question about cinematic scenes and astronomical concepts. Tyson clarified that certain scenes mentioned by the audience originated in the literary and cinematic follow-up rather than the original story. Additionally, the book was discussed on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, where Jordan Peterson spoke with Dr. Dennis Whyte about fusion power and cosmic possibilities. Peterson referenced the brilliant scientist and writer's specific plot point where advanced alien entities transform Jupiter into a second sun at the conclusion of the story. Both podcast appearances utilized the work to spark engaging discussions regarding advanced astrophysics, the speculative evolution of our solar system, and the intersection between rigorous scientific thought and imaginative science fiction storytelling.
