Arthur C. Clarke, the visionary science fiction writer who won worldwide acclaim with more than 100 books on space, science and the future, has died today in his adopted home of Sri Lanka, an aide has said. He was 90.
Clarke, who had battled debilitating post-polio syndrome since the 1960s, died after suffering breathing problems, his aide Rohan De Silva said.
A great writer dies. His ideas were bigger and expansive than his literary technique. He will be missed. My favourite memory is of laughing out loud when reading his diary of the making of the 2001 movie. Where Stanley Kubrick shows him a part of the set and Authru mentions that it reminds him of a chinese restaurant whioch apprently completely blew it for Stanley. Arthur notes not to stop by the design department for a while.
