A great writer who also hated our way of life. I wonder if he was still living in Sri Lanka when he died?

Author of 2001 A Space Odyssey and numerous other sci fi books; all of them of very good quality.

The last of the old sci-fi masters. ...and a heckuva good science writer as well.

He did an interview on Coast to Coast just months ago. Sounded quite frail. May he rest in peace.

He was molesting little boys over there, IIRC.
