Sundown with Arthur

A true giant. RIP

Author Jeff Greenwald, a long-time friend of Arthur C. Clarke, recalls his last visit with the sci-fi great: "During our final encounter, though, Clarke seemed melancholy and circumspect. There was no way to avoid a comparison with the beleaguered HAL, who remains self-aware as his magnificent consciousness is slowly dissembled."
