News came in late yesterday that prolific science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke passed away yesterday at the age of 90 years.
"Science-fiction writer, inventor and futurist Arthur C. Clarke has died, leaving fans bereft at the loss of his brilliance and creativity.
Clarke died early Wednesday after suffering from breathing problems, the Associated Press reported. He was 90 years old. He suffered from post-polio syndrome and was confined to a wheelchair toward the end of his life.
Clarke wrote more than 100 sci-fi books, including "2001: A Space Odyssey."
He is credited with coming up with the idea for the communications satellite and predicting space travel before rockets were even test fired."
