22. Arthur C. Clarke's Final Odyssey 1996 interview with the author at the time he was finishing writing 3001 , by reporter Ron Gluckman. http://www.gluckman.com/ArthurCClarke.html

Final Odyssey His eyesight is faltering, his legs are gone and his breath comes in gasps, but the nimble mind of Arthur C. Clarke continues to propel this quick-witted futurist to the farthest reaches of human possibility. An interview with the living legend. By Ron Gluckman/Colombo T HE CLATTER OF KEYS PRECEDES THE raspy voice, booming and boisterous even from behind the closed door. "Sit down. Sit down," insists Arthur C. Clarke, godfather of the modern science fiction genre. In the dim light of his suite at the Galle Face Hotel, it’s difficult to see the crusty writer, but I can hear him snickering as his fingers fly at break-neck speed across the laptop keyboard. "Just a moment," he grunts, in that dazed voice of a great writer’s distraction, seemingly from a galaxy away. As the sea laps against the rocks just outside the window, I’m lulled to sleep. Then, I’m startled awake when he shouts: "That’s it! Finished!" Just like that, the man who expanded not only the horizons for science fiction writing, but, in many ways, the actual daydreams of the mankind, has completed "3001, The Final Odyssey." And, when I wonder aloud whether this will be his final odyssey book, he quickly snaps: "Gawd, I hope so!" Then he repeats the same dirty joke about a gorilla and some nuns that he told two days ago when we first met.

Clarke is remembered as the inventor of communication satellite, an idea he first expounded in a 1945 article entitled 'Extraterrestial Relays.' Clarke's professional writing career spanned over five decades. "Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living. Since the dawn of time, roughly a hundred billion human beings have walked the planet Earth. Now this is an interesting number, for by a curious coincidence there are approximately a hundred billion stars in our local universe, the Milky Way. So for every man who has ever lived, in this universe, there shines a star. " (from Clarke's foreword in

Clarke By Frank Houston T he main character in the classic science-fiction story "The Time Machine" is known only as the Time Traveller. He travels aboard a machine of his own construction made of ebony, bronze and chrome far ahead in time, glimpsing the harrowing changes in store for humanity, and then returns home to the Victorian England of his creator, H.G. Wells, to relate his tale. At the end of the story, the Time Traveller enters the Time Machine again, equipped with his Kodak, and literally disappears into the future. Since he began publishing in the 1940s, writer Arthur C. Clarke has been a modern-day Time Traveller whose mission has yielded far more practical results. With more than 80 books of science, fiction and nonfiction, Clarke has displayed an uncanny ability to see the future. In 1945, a year before the death of Wells and 12 years before Sputnik, Clarke predicted a global relay system of radio and television signals using geosynchronous satellites a communications revolution that began taking shape 20 years later. The first draft of the article "Can Rocket Stations Give Worldwide Radio Coverage?" is now in the Smithsonian.

Not only were we Net-deprived, we were running machines with Jurassic software and a speck of the RAM in today's computers. Yes, Clarke was willing to cooperate with me.

34. Arthur C. Clarke History Lesson: A Modern Allegory Of The Cave Comparison of Clarke s works with a modern allegory of The Cave by Plato. http://www.lesekost.de/HHL59Z.htm

Arthur C. Clarke "History Lesson": A Modern Allegory of the Cave Ein Vergleich mit erstaunlichen Übereinstimmungen Throughout the centuries students have labored at Greek and Latin texts. Plato's dialogues in particular have never ceased to arouse debates and controversial opinions. In a well-known exaggeration the British mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead said: "The safest general characterisation of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato" (9). If one knows a bit of Plato's work it is either the praise of love in The Symposium or the Allegory of the Cave in Book VII of The Republic. This allegory is one of the most debated philosophical stories and one which is disputed anew among every generation. In contrast to the centuries' old philosophy of Plato, science fiction is a comparatively new literary form. It is not always in great esteem within academic circles. However, some science fiction authors do not overwhelm their stories with amazing technical developments but tell stories to ponder on. Often they pick up one of the eternal dreams and give it a modern scientific treatment. In Arthur C. Clarke's science fiction story "History Lesson," one looks at a specific problem, already dealt with in the Allegory of the Cave, from a different point of view. A thorough comparison of "History Lesson" with Plato's famous allegory shows astonishing parallels. Besides its comic twist the story also supports Plato's idea of the deception of evidence.

What would you choose to watch? The life of Christ? The first staging of Hamlet? Your parents in the act of conceiving you? What implications would such a technological development have for society and the people in it? These are the main issues investigated in this fascinating and engrossing novel, by two of the real heavyweights of science fiction, Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter. Seen through the eyes of the sons of Rupert Murdochesque Hiram Patterson, a South Indian refugee from Idi Amin's Uganda, the action follows the development of the technology, at first slowly, but subsequently at a much more rapid pace. Societal change intensifies too. Various historical conundrums are resolved and a number of religious myths debunked. As the authors see it, society grows up a little bit. At the end of the book, society has grown up a very long way indeed. As usual, in the fiction of both these authors, the ideas are much more interesting than the characters. However, the authors seem to feel (or have been informed somehow) that much more character development is necessary. This is a little unfortunate as, frankly, the family shenanigans of the main characters are not terribly interesting ? and do not even seem to hold the interest of the authors, given the perfunctory way in which they are discarded when no longer required.
