The literary world lost a giant last week when famed science fiction/fact author Arthur C. Clarke died last Wednesday, March 19, in Sri Lanka. Clarke was probably best known for the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was also a landmark film directed by Stanley Kubrick. Among his other classic novels were Childhood's End and Rendezvous with Rama. He also had a distinguished history of scientific achievement, including working on the development of radar, while serving with the British Royal Air Force in the Second World War.
