I love Arthur C. Clarke's works and the Rama game. I don't see how anyone who is serious about SF could have anything but respect for this man's work. I just wish I had the chance to see him before he died. I did manage to see Ray Bradbury, Harry Harrison, Piers Anthony, and Joe Haldeman. I also got to see Bill Nye, who as far as I know hasn't done SF but deserves mention as a great speaker and advocate of space exploration.

I wonder if we'll finally get some dirt on Clarke's mysterious social life, though. I'm sure you've heard the rumors about his move to Sri Lanka and what he was doing there. I suspect it's all groundless rumors, though.
