One day I pulled a book titled A Fall of Moondust off the public library shelf. I was ten or twelve or so, and it was my first experience with science fiction. Since that day, Arthur C. Clarke - and the legions of science fiction authors who followed him - have taken me on a journey of wonder and speculation. I would not be who I am without science fiction, and in particular without Arthur C. Clarke.

Other commentary, from Wired (interviews and correspondence), Steve Wheeler, Dan Colman (video of Clarke), John Gruber (Clarke's diary), Scott Beale (video), news article on Yahoo.
