Writer Arthur C Clarke dies at 90



Quote:
Legendary British science fiction writer Sir Arthur C Clarke has died in Sri Lanka at the age of 90.
He came to fame when his story, 2001: A Space Odyssey, was made into a film by film director Stanley Kubrick in 1968.

Once called "the first dweller in the electronic cottage", his vision captured the popular imagination.


I grew up on that fellas books Sad

I don't really like Science Fiction (with the exception of Dr Who/Torchwood)

But still age 90 is a long life, and I'm sure he has many fans who will be upset he died, but as I say, at age 90 at least he lived a long life.

I'm not religeous, but I do believe there has to be some sort of after-life, I just don't know what.

Well he wasn't only famous for his books, he helped develop radar which was a major factor in us winning the Battle of Britain, and ultimately the entire war.

He also invented the communications satellite which is used by billions every day (when you send a text on your mobile phone, you are using Arthur C Clarkes invention).

He has also achieved many other notable scientific contributions....and yes, he was a heck of a good writer too.
