Arthur C. Clarke, RIP
Article in the NYTimes. He was a young 90.
I grew up on the Rama series. It’s a close call between him and Asimov as to who influenced me most during my youth.
What are your fond Clarke memories?
Wish Sir Arthur C Clarke a happy birthday
The title says it all; Sir Arthur C Clarke, living legend of science fiction, turns 90 on 16th December 2007 - that’s this coming Sunday. The Astronomical Association of Sri Lanka (where Clarke has been resident for many years) have set up a special blog where you can leave a message for the man himself. [Via SpaceElevatorBlog]

Leading on nicely from Tomas’s post about "space as the third option" last week, IEEE’s Spectrum has an interview with one of the living legends of science fiction, Arthur C. Clarke. He talks about hearing the announcement of the Sputnik success, his hopes for the space tourism industry, and his continued faith in the space elevator concept - which was popularized (but not invented) by its appearance in his book Fountains of Paradise.
