Arthur C. Clarke
1917-2008

The legendary science ficiton writer, Arthur C. Clarke, passed away this week at his home in Sri Lanka. Clarke was best known for his collaboration with Stanley Kubrick on 2001:A Space Odyssey. And if you’re a serious film buff, you might have noticed his cameo in 2010:The Year We Made Contact. I just watched that movie last week due to my nostalgia for Roy Scheider, who also passed away this year.

Clarke has a long and varied career in the sciences and writing communities. His intelligent and vivid imagination will be sorely missed.
