 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.
