I can't tell you how devastated I am by this news.   
I love this guy.  I credit him with giving me my interest in sci fi.

When I was in grade school, about grade 4 I think, we got a huge shipment of new books for the library come in.  I snuck into the store room during lunch and rummaged through the box and found "A Fall Of Moondust".  The cover was just the freakiest thing I'd ever seen.  I think it was a UFO half buried in the surface of the moon.  From then on, I was hooked.

RIP Mr Clarke.  You will be sorely missed.

Not unexpected given his age, but sad news.  Read a lot of books, including a lot of Mr. Clarke's, and always really loved "Childhood's End."

I grew up on Clark's stories and series. Words can't express

Always enjoyed his work. -sad news indeed. He's a Starchild.

Just imagine what he could have come up with if he had another 90 years.  A life well lived.

He will be missed. He made the most of his life and gave much to the world.
