Author Obit: Arthur C. Clarke, 1917-2008
British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke died in in Sri Lanka on 19 March 2008, which, for those of us in the U.S., is tomorrow, which seems appropriate somehow. Clarke was 90 and had published more than 100 fiction and non-fiction books, and the short story The Sentinel, which was made into the film 2001: A Space Odyssey by director Stanley Kubrick in 1968.
