Arthur C. Clarke was one of the most influential writers in SciFi and I have had more than one of his books in my backpack through highschool. Its a sad day indeed that this man has left us. He lead a full life and wil be immortalized in them.
MTV Moviesblog says:
For the literary and film communities, Clarke’s death is a sad occasion. In novels like “Rendezvous with Rama,” “Childhood’s End,” and, especially, “2001: A Space Odyssey” (which he co-wrote with director Stanley Kubrick), Clarke found ways to elevate the genre – to transcend its pulp origins from trade-stand paperbacks to literary works of art.
He was 90 years old and was writing right til the end.
Godspeed Mr Clarke, and thanks for the ride.
