Arthur C. Clarke

Sir Arthur C. Clarke was an English author and inventor, best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was born on December 16, 1917, in Minehead, England and is considered one of the "Big Three" of science fiction, along with Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein. Clarke is most famous for his novel "2001: A Space Odyssey," which he also co-authored as a screenplay for the Stanley Kubrick film.

Clarke's academic background is as impressive as his writing career. He obtained first class honors in physics and mathematics from King's College, London. His contributions to science and technology extend beyond literature, as he is also an inventor and futurist. Clarke has been associated with many organizations, including serving as past chairman of the Interplanetary Society and as a member of the Academy of Astronautics, the Royal Astronomical Society, and many other organizations.

Throughout his career, Clarke has received numerous awards for his contributions to science and literature. These awards include the Kalinga Prize of 1961, the American Association for the Advancement Westinghouse Prize, the Bradford Washburn Award, and the John W. Campbell Award for his novel "Rendezvous with Rama." Clarke has also won the Nebula Award of the Fiction of America in 1972, 1974, and 1979, the Hugo Award of the World Fiction Convention in 1974 and 1980. In 1986, he was named Grand Master of the Fiction of America. Clarke's contributions to literature and science were recognized by the British monarchy when he was knighted as a Commander of the British Empire in 1989.
