Agentorange Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Completely off topic I know, but veteran science fiction author Arthur C Clarke died last week ( tuesday I think ) aged 90. I thought I'd mention it as lots of folk here seem to like SF ( including me ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rust Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Yes, it was very sad news indeed. I will miss him, he was one of the great authors of the kind of Hard SF I prefer, and his books and his interest in space and in the oceans have sparked the water world setting I am cur- rently working on - one of the NPCs, the founder of the colony there, was influenced by my view of Clarke ... ;-( Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."

Simlasa Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hmmm... I thought he had been dead for years... I can't say I've ever read anything by him... but still recognize the passing of greatness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
