Arthur C. Clarke 1917-2008
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 - 12:01 PM
Arthur C. Clarke, the author of the book '2001: A Space Odyssey,' which became a Stanely Kubrick movie, died yesterday. Clarke was a visionary science fiction writer who foresaw the use of satellites for communications and planted a seed of wonder and awe in the universe for many young kids, including me.
You can check out his final interview, done by Spectrum radio, here.

i'd like to make one small comment. this interview is really a re-hash of many of the things he already said in various occasions. Clarke gave a "summary" on his 90th birthday which you can see on youtube. but the last intimate, filmed, interview was actually give to me in Colombo on his 88th birthday - as part of an attempt to direct a feature length docudrama about the man's life and humanity's future. you can read about my strange adventure on the way to meet the man here:
