roddglenn Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I've just read the news that science fiction visionary Arthur C Clarke passed away. In my eyes he was quite literally a time traveller and lifted the imaginations of millions. Rest in Peace, Arthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laramie Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I've only heard of him because he wrote the forward to my all-time favourite non-fiction book (the Science of Dr Who) but he sounds amazing. Thought this was fitting... Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.

~Andrea~ Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 He wrote some of my favourite books: Rendezvous with Rama, Childhoods End... He was a great writer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 How sad! I've been wanting to read some of his, as I've always heard about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Jenkins Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 strange but true coincidences that would suit one of ACC's 'mystery' books...maybe... ...the night before I heard that he'd died I picked up his Profiles Of The Future collection, randomly, as you do, and read a chapter...then, the following night, listening to Count Arthur Strong's radio show, the showbiz legend is mistaken for Arthur C Clarke...
