Galaxiki Community BlogSubscribe via RSS In Memory Of Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008)March 19, 2008by joskirps Today Arthur C. Clarke, one of the most important science fiction authors of all times, died at age 90. He was the author of the famous novel "2001: A Space Odyssey" and collaborated with director Stanley Kubrick on the film of the same name. Even decades after its release, "2001: A Space Odyssey" is still condiered being one of the most important science fiction movies ever made. Arthur C. Clarke was born in Minehead, Somerset, England on December 16, 1917. As a boy he enjoyed stargazing and reading old American science fiction pulp magazines. After secondary school and studying at Huish's Grammar School, Taunton, he was unable to afford a university education and got a job as an auditor in the pensions section of the Board of Education. During the Second World War he served in the Royal Air Force as a radar specialist, in the postwar years Clarke became involved with the British Interplanetary Society and served for a time as its chairman. Between 1937 and 1945 some of his stories were published in fanzines, his first professional work was "Loophole" in 1946. In 1951 he was finally able to devote himself to writing full-time. In 1948 he wrote " The Sentinel " which introduced a more mystical and cosmic element to Clarke's work and can be considered to be the basis for "A Space Odyssey". In 1964 he met Stanley Kubrick to discuss the possibility of a collaborative film project which should become the famous "2001: A Space Odyssey". As the idea developed, it was decided that the story for the film was to be loosely based on Clarke's short story " The Sentinel ". Clarke wrote the novel while the screenplay was being written in parallel - a draft of the novel was ready at the end of 1964 with the plan to publish in 1965 in advance of the film's release in 1966. After many delays the film was released in the spring of 1968, before the book was completed. In 1982 Clarke continued the 2001 epic with a sequel, 2010: Odyssey Two. In 1986 he was named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. In 1988 he was diagnosed with post-polio syndrome, having originally contracted polio in 1959, and needed to use a wheelchair most of the time thereafter. In December 2007 on the occasion of his 90th birthday, Clarke recorded a video message to his friends and fans bidding them good-bye. Clarke died in Sri Lanka on 19 March 2008 after suffering from breathing problems.
