Sad news
I am sad to report that Arthur C. Clarke, one of my favourite authors died last night in his home in Sri Lanka at the age of 90.
He had a profound importance not just on science fiction but on the way we view the universe. He accurately predicted some uses of science and technology that are now a reality. His book 'Islands in the Sky' was the first science fiction book I ever read and got me started on a long path. His work has ever been an inspiration and comfort to me.
He will be sorely missed. :(
