Sir Arthur C. ClarkeBorn in Somerset, he came to fame in 1968 when a short story The Sentinel was made into the film 2001: A Space Odyssey by director Stanley Kubrick.
Once called "the first dweller in the electronic cottage", his vision of future space travel and computing captured the popular imagination.
An aide said he died at 0130 local time after a cardio-respiratory attack.
RIP Mr. Clarke- you will be missed.
Your novels inspired me and fostered both my love of reading and writing. I especially liked Rendezvous With Rama, Imperial Earth, Islands in the Sky and (of course) 2001: A Space Odyssey.
