It’s sad news all round, with the death of Captain Birds Eye, and Arthur C Clarke. The Captain being a childhood memory of many people around my age, and Clarke being an author I am massively interested in. After getting involved in his works through the ubiquitous 2001: A Space Odyssey, I’ve managed work my way through a large amount of his other works, including the prelude to his first book, Childhoods End, the short story Guardian Angel.
His influence will go on, whether in the very real world of science and the satellite TV we all use every day, or the fictional world portrayed in his writings.
John Hewer… Arthur C Clarke… So long, and thanks for all the fish 🙂
