juanchan Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 RIP I read most of the 2001 series, he had a highly vivid imagination, but I found his writing style quite hard to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I didn't even realise that he was still alive. I've got a book wrote by him almost thirty years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I used to enjoy watching Arthur C. Clarkes Mysterious World in the late 70's early 80's He invented the satellite after the 2nd world war as well IIRC I watched his World of Strange Powers series in the early 80s. Some of it scared the cr*p out of me! It's all about supernatural stuff for those who are unfamiliar. In the accompanying book, his foreword goes something like "50% of this book is probably made-up or is an elaborate fraud. Unfortunately we can't tell exactly which parts." He was credited with conceiving the communications satellite. Clever bloke, one of my heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
