Summary
"Just as 2010: Odyssey Two was not a direct sequel to 2001: A Space Odyssey, so this book is not a linear sequel to 2010. They must all be considered as variations on the same theme, involving many of the same characters and situations, but not necessarily happening in the same universe." Arthur C. Clarke in the introduction to 2061.
A fic which takes place in one of the many parallel universe versions of the 2001 canon.

“What was that.” The way the computer said it, it wasn’t fully a question. Frank wondered if he imagined the trepidation in his tone. More urgently, this time, HAL repeated, “Frank, what was-“
“The positive reinforcement button,” Frank answered. “I wanted to see what it would do.”
“Just a moment,” said HAL. He was silent for an eon of computer time, a whole seven seconds. Frank started to withdraw his arm, formulating an apology, when- “Will you hit it again, Frank?” The astronaut blinked.
“I’m sorry?”

Summary
HAL 9000 is the most advanced supercomputer on Earth. He can talk, he can make his own decisions, and he can even feel emotions. Dave doesn't know if that's a good thing, especially after Hal is driven over the edge on the way to Jupiter.
But after the mission is complete, Dave has no other choice but to reactivate Hal, and he learns some new things about his own feelings in the process.Bookmarked by SushiSashimi8
