Noted author and visionary Sir Arthur C. Clarke has died at age of 90 in Sri Lanka.

I am not even certain where to begin to describe just how profoundly this man’s writing affected me as a child – and as an adult.

My business partner, Marc Boucher, had the pleasure of meeting Sir Arthur a few years ago in Sri Lanka. I am certain Marc will have something online shortly.

We were both big fans of Sir Arthur’s works – so much so that we named the greenhouse we built on Devon Island after him.

Sir Arthur also granted Marc permission to post some of his early works on space elevators on the Space Elevator Reference a website for which Marc serves as editor.
