Farewell Arthur…
I just saw a notice that legendary author and theoretical scientist Arthur C. Clarke has just died at the age of 90. He was in a hospital near his home in Sri Lanka which is off the coast of India (and not too far from my location). This will be a very sad day in the Science Fiction industry and fans alike.
For those of you not familiar with Clarke, he wrote the well known 2001: A Space Odyssey [and it's sequels] and co-authored the movie based on the book with the equally iconic and departed Stanley Kubrick. Clarke also authored a great many other science fiction short stories and novels that are considered classics in the genre. Many of his stories have to do with the mingling of science and faith and questions regarding humanity and existence instead of the typical pulp fiction that many sci-fi writers go for.
Farewell Arthur. I hope that you now know all the answers to the questions you always hoped we’d ask as well as the answers.
