In Memory

I just heard that the world lost Arthur C. Clarke. I keep a copy of Childhood's End on my bookshelf because when I finished it the ending rattled around in my mind for days. When people speak of the visionaries of science fiction, he was definitely one of the greatest. Who else could have envisioned the world we would have today, so many years ago.

After reading his works I felt that we were so far behind the curve in exploration and advancement. He made it all seem possible and present.

I'm sure that this quote will be repeated often in the next few days but it rings true. He said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." It is one of my favorites of any writer.

Thank You for the great journey Mr. Clarke. Hopefully we can one day live up to your vision.
