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

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.

I’m genuinely destroyed by this. My mother related her hurt when Sagan died. This is huge for me. He was an illuminary for me, a child who read his works voraciously.

Clark gave us the geosynchronous communications satellite. A great mind.

Indeed a loss. I enjoyed his books, particularly "Childhood's End."
