Sir Arthur C. Clark, CBE, has passed on.

Writer Arthur C Clarke dies at 90 (BBC)

"Legendary British science fiction writer Sir Arthur C Clarke has died in Sri Lanka at the age of 90.

He came to fame when his story, 2001: A Space Odyssey, was made into a film by director Stanley Kubrick in 1968.

Once called "the first dweller in the electronic cottage", his vision captured the popular imagination. "

Holy shit!! First Minghella, now Arthur C Clarke! What a day in the obits. I loved the Rama series; let's hope his rendezvous will take him on a journey just as profound.

He was a pioneer and he'll be missed. I remember whenever there was excitement in Sri Lanka that whatever news service I was reading would report "Arthur C. Clarke is unharmed".

A true futurist before they even coined that word. Exploring new boundaries, even now... -_-
