Seattle, the "science-fictiony town," and myself, are sorry to see Arthur C Clarke go

[Image: hellodave]I just learned that Arthur C. Clarke died today.

As a fan of science fiction, the amount of his work that I’ve read is woefully lacking (I do, of course, know everything about 2001 - in fact, I actually referenced it in a post I wrote today for InFlightHQ before I learned he had died. Odd).

That link up above is to The Big Blog, which has an interesting story about Clarke’s last correspondence to the Seattle Sci-Fi Museum.

I didn’t know we had a Sci-Fi Museum until about a month ago. But we do, and they’ve apparently set up a memorial page for him, where he is captioned: “English Writer.”

Regardless, I’m sad to see him go. He’s been a staple of the Sci-Fi world for so long that his absence will definitely be felt.
