He was one of the greats to the world, esp. sci-fi fans, and is most famous for 2001: A Space Odyssey novel and movie. Sir Arthur C Clarke, died at 1:30 last night in his home in Sri Lanka, after a long struggle with post-polio syndrome.
He was the inspiration to many well known scientists and science-fictionists of later years and decades, and paved the way for the world to fully embrace sci-fi and more adventurously explore its infinite possibilites. His novels, namely the 2001 series, opens us to the vast universe out there, ultimately, to look upon ourselves - the decisions we make, how we interact with each other and the possibilties of what we can achieve as a human race.
Clarke was severely struck down by polio in the early 1960s. And, though he recovered remarkably, he developed post-polio in 1984, which was to confine him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
His name and works will no doubt live on here as he, himself, begins the ultimate journey beyond this world.
