RIP Arthur C Clarke

Visionary science fiction writer Arthur C Clarke is dead at age 90. I greatly admired some of his science fiction. Some of my favorites: Childhood's End, Tales from the White Hart, and Rescue Party.

Clarke envisioned the communication satellite and the PDA (among other things) decades before they were realized. Like many of the other giants of the golden age of SF (Asimov, Heinlein) he had some training in science, and knew how to use it in his stories.

We won't see his like again.
