Arthur C. Clarke is dead! Not as big a shock as Anthony Minghella’s untimely death also yesterday, but still a shock.
Having read and re-read all of his books and many of his other stories and article over the years, I can safely say that we have lost a great person who managed to fulfil many roles; storyteller, futurist and inventor to name a few.
His collaboration with the cinematic icon Stanley Kubrick (his films), produced one of the most inspiring science fiction films – 2001: A Space Odyssey – of all time, images of which are still reused today – the latest one being the closing shot of the BBC’s last episode of Last Enemy.
He will be sorely missed by many.
