Default R.I.P. Arthur C. Clarke

As some of you may have heard, Arthur C. Clarke died a few days ago. I hadn't even known he was still alive.

In any case, if you don't know who he is, there's Wikipedia: Arthur C. Clarke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If you do, then there's not much that needs saying. So, as a gesture, I'll simply link to a story of his I had not been aware of until one of my favorite authors linked to it himself:

The Nine Billion Names of God

It's a 5-10 minute read.

A very sad loss to literature.

I saw this on the news as well... He has contributed so much to society with his literature

My very first computer game which I bought and played for hours and hours on end was

"Rama" it was a game fashioned after his book "Adventures of or In Rama"... it was one of my all time favorite computer games...

RIP!!
