Arthur C. Clarke, RIP

Jesse Walker | March 19, 2008

The novelist Arthur C. Clarke has died at age 90. It's been a couple decades since I last read any of his books, but I enjoyed several of them in my teens, especially 2001 and the wonderfully ambiguous Childhood's End.

And then there was his larger cultural influence, which stretched all the way from here...

...to here:

Rest in peace.
