Paranoid Marvin Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 A sad day for anyone with a love of science and science fiction Arthur C. Clarke, the writer of more than 100 non-fiction and fiction books, including the basis of the famous 2001: a Space Odyssey. He was also famous for conceptualising many important aspects of modern day life including high speed telecommunications via geostationary satellites. He died today at the ripe old age of 90.

apowerr Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'm not very familiar with his other works, but 2001 is nothing short of a masterpiece. Monoliths rock.

Alessandro17 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 A great man indeed. Sir Arthur’s Quotes If we have learned one thing from the history of invention and discovery, it is that, in the long run - and often in the short one - the most daring prophecies seem laughably conservative.

Ayanami Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I saw that on Engadget last night at work. I'd hate to imagine life down here without his work.
