Book by Herman Melville chronicling the voyages of a ship captained by the mad revenge-driven Captain Ahab. Rather good, although the narrating character's attitude to the moral issues of whaling is very likely to grate with the ethics of 21st Century humans.
It is a little known fact that this supposed whale was actually a nuclear submarine piloted by technologically advanced time-travelling OUSF Gi from the future.
Not entirely unrelated to Bruce Sterling's novel Involution Ocean.
Category Book Category SF Movie (sort of - the 1956 version does have the SF luminary Ray Bradbury amongst the credited writers)
