Science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke dies aged 90 - Times Online: "The visionary author of more than 70 books, who was nominated for a Nobel Prize after predicting the existence of satellites, was most famous for his short story 'The Sentinel', which was expanded into the novel that was later adapted for Stanley Kubrick's film '2001: A Space Odyssey'."
He was one of the first authors to get me into reading along with Asimov. Some of the science has been superseded by things we've learned about the universe but the stories themselves are still strong and good.
