RIP Sir Arthur C Clarke
writer of over 100bks passed away in sri lanka from a heart attack.
British science fiction writer Sir Arthur C Clarke has died in Sri Lanka at the age of 90. Born in Somerset, he came to fame in 1968 when a short story The Sentinel was made into the film 2001: A Space Odyssey by director Stanley Kubrick. Once called "the first dweller in the electronic cottage", his vision of future space travel and computing captured the popular imagination. BBC NEWS | UK | Writer Arthur C Clarke dies at 90

Re: RIP Sir Arthur C Clarke
sad day indeed , lots of Sri Lankan catamites will now have to find real jobs,
on a different note , watching 2001 Space Odessey on a big screen whilst stoned is an experience no youngster should miss  |

Re: RIP Sir Arthur C Clarke
I can't believe I didn't see this anywhere in the news! I've been living under a rock too long. Quality, well-respected British writer, some say one of the best 3 sci-fi writers ever - up there with titans like H.G.Wells and Isaac Asimov.
