Rest in Peace Arthur C. Clarke

A great Humanitarian, Author and Explorer. I had the golden opportunity to listen to him speak via satellite phone in 2001. It was a moment I'll remember for the rest of my life. He has rejoined the galaxy, going back to, as the great, late Carl Sagan so well put, star stuff. The world needs more citizens like him. May he rest in peace.

Ah, jeez. People need to stop dying... it's getting really terrible. I can hardly deal. Steve Gerber... Gary Gygax... now Clarke. What a sad day. The world's just not quite the same as it was.

Rest in peace, sir.

His books are some of my favorite Science fiction tales. I will miss his classy take on the genre.

RIP

I'm really, actually sad and effected by this.

RIP Arthur. I remember Childhood's End blowing my mind when I was 10 or so.

Jeez what a bad month.

I will miss him tremendously. I first read 2001: A Space Odyssey in an attempt to decipher the Stanley Kubrick film. Unfortunately, as with most Stanley Kubrick films, the movie has absolutely nothing to do with the book ...

Just because you're offended, it doesn't make you right.

I thought the book made the movie easier to decipher. The best part of the movie is the first scene, when the monkey trows a bone into the air and it fades into a shot of a space station. From crude to advanced tools, it only took billions of years...kinda makes you humble.

I have never read any of his other books. That book, however, was the greatest novel I ever had to read for any class, and I read many classic authors. I just loved it.
