Obituary
Tributes
Quote:
British science fiction writer Sir Arthur C Clarke has died in Sri Lanka at the age of 90.
The Somerset-born author came to fame in 1968 when short story The Sentinel was made into the film 2001: A Space Odyssey by director Stanley Kubrick.
Sir Arthur's vision of future space travel and computing captured the popular imagination.
An aide said he died at 0130 local time in what had been his homeland since 1956 after a cardio-respiratory attack.
