Arthur Has Left The Planet

I once won the Arthur C Clarke award at my High School for "Being on another planet most of the time". True story.

Sadly the great man is now gone. The man who pretty much created modern sci-fi and predicted much modern technology (including communications satelites), has - at 90 - decided it's time to go.

I repeat... Arthur C Clarke is dead.

*sigh*

"Life is just one big banana. Science fiction allows us all to peel open the reality and discover the yellow truth inside." - Arthur C Clarke

Edited to add - video of Clarke that he made last December.
