Just found out the news myself. Definitely one of the fathers of science fiction! But what a long life he had! 
2001 will always be my favourite of his works- I had to read Childhood's End in highschool. |

Been one hell of a year so far with sci-fi deaths.  This one's a biggie.

I'm very sad to hear this, A.C Clarke always was and probably always will be one of my favorite SF writers. So I raise my glass to you Arthur and wish you a fond farewell, thanks for all the pleasure you gave me in my childhood reading your books! Roughneckone |

He was definitely one of the greatest minds of our time. He'll be missed. |

A brilliant mind and exceptional visionary. I would say 2001 is my favorite of his works, too. Apparently, Arthur C Clarke was one of the first three people in the world to use email, interestingly enough. Back in the early 70's, I think I read. What a grand old life! Cool initials, too... |

Oh man. That means the only one of my childhood literature heroes still alive is Jack Vance.
