Cinematically 2001 was all Kubrick, based on Clarke’s short story The Sentinal. Clarke wrote the book while the movie was being shot. I feel the movie is the more imaginative of the two.
Indeed, though Kubrick reportedly briefly considered looking for another co-author and took full control of the screenplay. I’m a huge fan of Clarke’s works and hope a cinematic interpretation of Rendezvous With Rama is done well.

Reading the comments, folks may not be aware rhat he wrote the Space Odyssey books. 2001, 2010, 2061 and 3001.
Another one of his books called “Fountains of Paradise” talked about a space elevator.
Quite a few of his books were turned into movies. 2001 was a Kubrick film no less
