I think I'll make a pilgrimage to the Monolith and lay a can in this great man's honour.

Well FFS. I have every story Clarke ever published and a nigh few he didn't. He was right up there with Asimov with the incredibly diverse works of plausable fiction he penned.  TBH I don't think modern sci-fi would be nearly as interesting as it has been over the years if it hadn't been for Clarke and Asimovs influance.

With Clarke's passing the last of the great science fiction writers have left.
I would think it difficult for anyone to surmise his enormous legacy, and as I'm sure many of us are aware, his influence has impacted everyone here in one way or another.
Godspeed, Mr. Clarke, and thanks for all you have done. =)

A GREAT MAN. The very first Sci-fi novel I read was one of his works..
 Quote:
"I'm sometimes asked how I would like to be remembered. I've had a diverse career as a writer, underwater explorer, space promoter and science populariser," he said. "Of all these, I want to be remembered most as a writer -- one who entertained readers, and, hopefully, stretched their imagination as well."
~Arthur C. Clarke.

He's a legend.
I've loads of his books, and 2001 is obviously one of my favourite films ever.

Legend is a word that is easily comes to mind when you think of Sir Arthur C. Clarke. A man of vision who, like Asimov, altered everyones perception of the possibilities of space. He predicted man made communication satellittes, mobile phones and moon-landings in the early 50's (he stated man would land on the moon by 2000, he was wrong with his dates but right in his vision) and was rubbished for his thoughts. His perseverence shined through.
Truely someone who will be missed.

Wrote my favourite sci-fi novel of all time in Rendevous with Rama. Shame he let Gentry Lee in on the follow ups, cause they were awful.
I'd say it's sad, but I think 90 is a great innings, and I'd rather have fond memories of reading his books.

That sucks. Everyone dies, but too many of the good ones have been passing on of late.
Such is life, though. R.I.P. Arthur C. Clarke.

Very sad news for all sci-fi fans.
I'm am glad that there already is an official landmark in his honour in EVE which we can visit.

Fare thee well, Clarke may you rest in peace. Hes one of the arthurs who got me into Science Fiction, along with Isaac Asimov and Robert A Hienlien. Ironic to think that on his last birthday he tapped a farewell to his friends and fans.

At last you are one of the stars, which you so much adored. Safe journey out there, and we will never forget you. Your work was inspirational to many and will be to more.

We were lucky that we had such an amazing man in our lifetime, and i'm happy that our children will come to know him through his many and varied works.
Rest in Peace!
I hope you find the next world as interesting as this one.

Rest In Peace. He was a great author and his works influenced and inspired many, especially those of us who enjoy Eve for the very reasons that inspired him.
He put... creatures... in our bodies... to control our minds. He made us... say lies... do things. |
