Mourning the last of the Big 3
Today we lost the last of the great 3 masters of science fiction. Arthur C. Clarke passed away at 1:30am local time in Sri Lanka, where he’d lived for over 50 years, of breathing complications. He was 90 years old.
Pay your respects to this science fiction (and science fact) legend by re-reading your favorite novel of his. If you’ve never read him, do yourself a favor and try any of his extensive bibliography.
There is a good semi-obit at BBC News, and you can learn more about this amazing man at his wikipedia article.
With the loss of the great Gary Gygax just two short weeks ago, this is truly a sad month for us geeks.
Godspeed you, Sir Arthur C. Clarke.
