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.

East · Mar 2008

Damn. But when you've gotta go, you've gotta go. Will miss the guy. And I just started re-reading his books a couple of weeks ago..

Mister Sentient · Mar 2008

Sad news. A great loss for Science Fiction.

Peris · Mar 2008

Sad day

RIP

Mongrelman · Mar 2008

Certainly a great loss, but 90 years old...good run man.

wake · Mar 2008

One of the first science fiction authors I read as a kid. His gift's will keep on giving. RIP

ebagg · Mar 2008

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.

Ruz · Mar 2008

hmm wasn't he accused of certain 'deeds' a while back. loved his work but that out a downer on his career

HarlequiN · Mar 2008

A random accusation by a British tabloid newspaper Ruz. It was found to be something they pulled out of their arse.

I need to re-read me some Clarke in his honor.

what, harl dropping the U out of honour? I dunno, it's been building up for a while

Ruz · Mar 2008

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.

HarlequiN · Mar 2008

I typed it in a hurry Dan, nothing too sinister

flaagan · Mar 2008

I figured this would be an appropriate place to place this link.
