As many have heard by now, the visionary, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, has passed away. His funeral was held on Saturday in Sri Lanka.

He influenced generations with his novels, like the popular 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was made into the film directed by another visionary artist, Stanley Kubrick.

The death of Arthur C Clarke is indeed a great loss to the world of science fiction. I will miss him; he was one of my favourite writers.
