Many sites are covering the death of what I consider one of the great authors of our time. I wouldn't consider his great because of the words he wrote, but the ideas that he inspired. Sir Clarke was the first hard sci-fi author that I read and it opened me to a whole genre. I often think about Clarke's third law and wonder at what point tech will be so interwoven into our lives that we won't be able to tell where it begins.
To steal a quote: I hope wherever he's gone, it's full of stars.
In this case I must say that 90 was too early. God speed Sir Clarke.
