There is hopeful symbolism in the fact that flags do not wave in a vacuum. - Arthur C. Clarke

The world has just lost one of the greatest writers who ever lived. He was a true visionary with great insight into the modern world and the future.
I bet he's having a great time now though, god or no god...

R.I.P. Aurthur C Clarke, the man who saw the future.
His novels and short stories were a massive part of my childhood, and his inventions really have changed the world—and will almost certainly continue to do so.
