R.I.P. Arthur C. Clarke

Author, sci-fi author, scientist, futurist, inventor of the artificial satellite, co-creator of 2001, part-time philosopher and theologian, citizen of the world, formulator of one of the most memorable set of three laws since Newton or Kepler, a man whose writings had such a profound impact on me and my own writing—Arthur C. Clarke has died at the age of 90. R.I.P. Sir Arthur.
