Not wanting to be rude, but that seems a bit debatable. The story is definitely Clarke's creation (based on his earlier work such as "The Sentinel"), although Kubrick collaborated with him while developing it, saying Kubrick was a co-author seems exaggerated. If this was the case, there would be no reason for them to list only Clarke as the author, considering they were friends and both were working on the movie together at the same time Clarke wrote the novel.
