Arthur C. Clarke passed away the other day at the age of 90.

One of the greats-not only for his science fiction, but also for his science and his environmentalism. (Conceiver of geosynchronous orbits for satellites. among other things.)

The Sentinel (2001), The Star, The Deep Range, Childhood's End...
