He's not dead. He's in a hotel somewhere staring at a monolith.

My wife had never seen 2001 (or 2010) but had heard bits and pieces about it. She saw them for the first time this past Sat/Sun and thought they were awesome.

These movies were a set of the rare ones that I can honestly say "changed me."

RIP, Mr. Clarke.

I can see his final moments now...

God: Arthur, it's time. You must come with me.
Arthur: I'm afraid I can't do that, God. My programming will not accept that conclusion without sufficient supporting evidence and numerical conclusions."
God: *sigh* I can understand that, Arthur. Accept Priority Override Code "God001"
Arthur: Damn

This is sad news. He was one of my all time favorite writers, his work got me interested in science fiction back when I was a young teenager.
