One of the great science fiction writers of our time and visionaries Arthur C. Clarke is dead, aged 90.
Growing up in the 1980s, when the genre of science fiction was a lot more popular than it is today, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury were some of the authors who were popular. Great books, ultimate fantasy and adventure that was space travel would transport me to a different realm. God, am I glad that I grew up at a time when television didn't dominate our lives!! Coincidentally, I am reading one of his books, The Garden of Rama, right now. And who can forget the magical 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I am glad Arthur C. Clarke lived long enough to see Richard Branson's brave attempt at space tourism. Check out, what is probably, his last video message on his birthday in Dec 2007.
Farewell space traveller and thanks for all the magic!
