Arthur C. Clarke dies at 90

The well know writer Arthur C. Clarke Died today (03/18/2008), he was 90.
Arthur C. Clarke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've read 2001 and 2010, I'm planning to read the 2 other books following 2010.
These books are great, 2001: Space Odyssey is a cult story, one of the best book i've ever read.

Here are Clarke's 3 laws of prediction:
  1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
  2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
  3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
The world will miss him.

The day he died I will always remember, his books had inspired me since I was just a young lad, his ideas and predictions will always live in my heart. And I will sorely miss him. Even the universe honors him, on the day of his death 5 pulsars that we had never seen before suddenly were found, with one being the largest mass we have ever seen in space... amasing.
