The guy who brought us 2001: A Space Odyssey, communication satellites and space elevators (well not quite yet). Died this morning, age 90 :sad:

Farewell, Arthur! Beyond the Infinite.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

Oh my god,

Try to realise it's all within yourself
no one else can make you change

Wow, what a post.

All he is known for TO YOU may be 2001, but to science fiction aficionados he is known as one of the greatest authors of the 21st century.

and he's one of the greatest sci-fi writers out there.
for those of you who dont know, 2001: Odyssey has three sequels set in 2010, 2061 and 3001. They're all worth reading.
