After the death of Arthur C Clarke I thought I'd create a lens for the man. A true visionary. In fact 2001 A Space Odyssey is one of my all time favourite movies. Rest in peace.

About Arthur C Clarke... 

Sir Arthur Charles Clarke, CBE, Sri Lankabhimanya (16 December 1917 - 19 March 2008) was a British science fiction author, inventor, and futurist, most famous for the novel 2001: A Space Odyssey, written in collaboration with director Stanley Kubrick, a collaboration which led also to the film of the same name; and as a host and commentator in the British television series Mysterious World.

Clarke served in the Royal Air Force as a radar instructor and technician from 1941-1946, proposed satellite communication systems in 1945 which won him the Franklin Institute Stuart Ballantine Gold Medal in 1963 and a nomination in 1994 for a Nobel Prize, and 1999 for literature, and became the chairman of the British Interplanetary Society from 1947-1950 and again in 1953. Later, he helped fight for the preservation of lowland gorillas and won the UNESCO-Kalinga Prize in 1962.

Clarke was knighted in 1998. He emigrated to Sri Lanka in 1956 largely to pursue his interest in scuba diving, and lived there until his death.

He has lived in Sri Lanka since 1956. Read full transcript of the video at http://www.tveap.org/news/0712art_transcript_01.html

How close is the audio book version of space odyssey to the actual book?
