he's a pedophile you know

 

[Hotdog1]

he made some surprisingly acurate predictions (about the types of technology used, not the dates etc)... read 3001, very ... uh ... imaginative and abstract

 

[Casmira]

he probably went senile when he wrote 3001

between 2001 and 2061 is the best, some people dont like 2061 but i am half way through and love it, it relates way more too journey imo

He was accused of paedophilia by the Sunday Mirror, who are hardly the most reliable of newspapers. The allegations were never proven, I don't think he was ever charged, and BBC News said he was cleared:

The investiture ceremony was delayed until Sir Arthur was cleared of charges of paedophilia, brought against him after an article published in the Sunday Mirror.

Sir Arthur has always maintained his innocence.

Anyway, Arthur C. Clarke is my favourite sci-fi author. 3001 is a bit weird, but then so is 2001 and it's a really great work. My favourite is the Fountains of Paradise because I have always been interested in the concept of space elevators.
