I'm seriously so bummed out, I remember devouring his work as a kid and just loving his writing. RIP, my all-time favorite sci-fi author. Your influence on the genre will live on forever. :gruh:
And yeah, he was 90 so it wasn't unexpected, but somehow I imagined he'd continue on and on and keep writing, he was still writing even recently. No more Arthur C Clarke books, the harshness of that reality is a bummer...
It wasn't so long ago we lost Kurt Vonnegut and Hubert Selby Jr., and now this. :/ Next I'll hear about Milan Kundera's death. :argh:


R.I.P. Sir Arthur C. Clarke, I'll never forget those evenings of my youth reading on fascinations of Rama, the end of childhoods, and grand odysseys into space.
