Today, a true legend passed away. Arthur C. Clarke, best known for authoring 2001, died at the age of 90.
I was introduced to Clarke in high school, when I went on a classic science fiction kick, starting with some of Heinlein's work. I think I read 2001, 2010, Rendezvous with Rama, Childhood's End, and one of his short story collections all in the same year. Childhood's End sticks with me the most, all these years later.
Clarke was not just a brilliant writer, he was a scientist and a revolutionary.
I am sad to see him go.
