The book begins with a brief prologue describing the aliens who created the
Monoliths. They apparently evolved from "warm slime", and over the course
of millions of years, turned into a space faring species. As they explored the
galaxy, they saw that few intelligent species ever successfully evolved.
Therefore, they traveled the universe and catalyzed the evolution of
intelligent species wherever they went, including Earth, by increasing the
evolving species' odds of survival. Upon reaching Earth, they performed
experiments on many species to encourage the development of intelligence.
Then they left, leaving the monoliths behind. After visiting Earth, the aliens
continued to evolve, to the point where they eventually found a way to
integrate themselves into the fabric of space, and became non-corporeal
beings. Meanwhile, back in the Solar system, the Monoliths continued to
watch over humanity. However, the Monoliths were capable of degenerating
and acting independently of their original programming.
3001 follows the adventures of Frank Poole, an astronaut who was
deliberately killed by HAL 9000 in 2001: A Space Odyssey by casting him out
into space. His body is discovered in the Kuyper belt, beyond the orbit of
Neptune, by the comet-collecting space tug Goliath, after drifting in space for
a millennium, and brought back to life, deep-freezing to near absolute zero
having preserved him sufficiently for the advanced medical technology of the
time to be able to revive him. He then explores the Earth of 3001, notable
features of which are the BrainCap, a technology which interfaces computers
directly with the human brain, genetically engineered dinosaur servants, and
four huge space elevators spaced around the Earth's Equator connected by a
spaceport ring in geostationary orbit. Humanity has also colonized Jupiter's
moons Ganymede and Callisto.
