Arthur C. Clarke (1917 - 2008)

By Linda | March 19, 2008

Sad news yesterday - Arthur C. Clarke, science fiction visionary, and collaborator with Stanley Kubrick on the iconic movie 2001 A Space Odyssey, has passed away at the age of 90. He leaves behind a prolific record of accomplishment, with more than 70 novels, short story collections, and nonfiction books, as well as a science fiction award that bears his name.

His creative genius shall be greatly missed.
