I still don't understand what that book was all about.

YouTube text version: Early man is dying because he is starving. Alien monolith gives man "intelligence" and wants to see us again when we have "grown up". We learn how to use tools, stop starving and end up going to the moon. We find another alien monolith buried on the moon and uncover it. Sunlight hits monolith, monolith sends signal to BIG monolith/stargate-type thingy around Jupiter, astronaut flies into stargate and comes back to earth as a "Star Child/"Savior".

The End

So, I'll have to spend even more time trying to understand and appreciate Clarke?

Damn literature!
