where Kubrick's dazzling visual style and pre-punk vision was not taken from the book, but was his own invention.

Arguably, Double Indemnity, one of my favorite quick reads from James M. Cain, yet the movie screenplay was written by the equally great Raymond Chandler and was at least as good.

And as far as books written after the movie, 2001 was a visionary and ambiguous trip as a movie and a very flat sci-fi novel, which I believe came after the movie.
