beat me to it.
It would be truly ironic that with the SETI project, and all the searches for habitable extrasolar planets, life turned up in our solar system at Europa. And, it would make Arthur Clarke a true prophet.
When the Monolith starts shooting water geysers, I’ll start paying attention. lol
It’s the first thing I thought of.
I liked Clarke’s earlier works before he started promoting homosexuality in his books, but what I have found fascinating about him is the foresight he’s had.
Seems that sci-fi writers have that. A better ability to foresee the future than others.
