Arthur C Clarke RIP
Bummer

Incredibly inventive writer and still unbelivable that some of his stuff was written over 50 years ago and fairly accurately described future inventions

RIP

For anyone whose interested, here's a video Clarke made on his 90th birthday:



Some interesting reflections.

Since I read "Childhood's End" in highschool I've been tuned into his awesome concepts. Bummer.

Re: Arthur C Clarke RIP
How great a visionary he was! I became an addict through "The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke". "Rendezvous with Rama" is a masterpiece of realistic science-fiction. Next on my reading list are "2010", "2061" and "3001".
