What the hell is up with every synopsis ( both book and movie) saying its about hal 9000 going ape-shit on Dave, and how both the book and the movie's theme is why we shouldn't put too much power in machines hands. That's not what the book and the movie are circled around. Its about the monolith, and its effect on mankind in general, how we rose up from the lowest species on earth to the dominant one, and mankind's place in the universe. NOT HAL 9000 STUPID GODDAMN AI.
Its like the book Charolettes Web, except focusing on the little girl instead of wilber, WTF thats how bad it is
 
I agree. I think HAL exists to bring in another layer; a tangible structure for the strangeness in the story...other than the monolith, of course.
