Passing of a visionary author, and the last of the three golden age SF grandmasters.
This is the first in a long while of any sort of news of a public figure dying feels like it means something, personally. Rest in peace.
Gotta say I wouldn't consider "mourning his loss", but rather celebrating his life. The guy lived until he was 90 and lead an incredibly accomplished life. Glad he was around but like Mongrelman said, DAMN good run.
well i am pleased if the allegations were without foundattion because I did like his work. i have both 2001 and and 2064 in paperback and they are cracking good reads.
