Arthur C. Clarke Dead at 90

This news saddened me greatly. Arthur C. Clarke’s science fiction was central to my interest in science. I grew up on a steady diet of his stories ever since I was first introduced to his stories by my father as a child. Whenever I found myself in a library or a bookstore at a loss for what to read next, I instinctively headed to his section to see if he had anything new to offer. He will be missed.
