Sentinel (Mass Market Paperback) (1986) ISBN: 4102235019

Clarke's concept of the Sentinel as a mysterious artifact raises questions about our place in the universe. I wonder what inspired this thought-provoking symbol of first contact.

Some stories felt contemplative and slow, but that added to the philosophical tone. Was this deliberate to encourage deep thinking?

His detailed descriptions and measured pace seem to build a sense of awe about space. Do others feel that his style enhances the cosmic themes?
