An email I received today from IEEE Spectrum:
As we were preparing to publish this exclusive interview with the famed
author of works such as
"2001: A Space Odyssey," we received news that Sir Arthur had passed away at
age 90. Sadly, it
now contains some of the final words of a writer who changed the world with
his ideas. One of
our correspondents traveled to Sri Lanka in January to speak with him in
person, only to find
Clarke hospitalized and short of breath. Still, he was able to convey his
thoughts on a range of
technology topics, from space elevators to terraformed planets. Read the
article and listen to
our exclusive interview.
