   Extractions: Arthur C. Clarke, ktorý oslávi koncom roku 1997 svoje osemdesiate narodeniny - narodil sa 12. decembra 1917 v Mineheade v anglickom Somersete - je posledným žijúcim autorom z hviezdneho triumvirátu Asimov - Clarke - Heinlein, ktorý vládol svetovej science fiction poèas celých desaroèí. Jeho vynikajúcim súputníkom v science fiction osud bohužial to isté odoprel. A.C.Clarke, žijúci od pädesiatich rokov v colombe na Srí Lanke, pochádza z juhoanglickej rodiny poštového úradníka. Jeho otec Charles Wright Clarke bojoval na frontoch prvej svetovej vojny. Po demobilizácii zatúžil po živote v prírode a neskôr nastúpil po živote v prírode a zakúpil neve¾kú farmu Ballifants. Jeho syn tam od mladosti vyrábal rakety, kryštá¾ové rádiá, domáce telefóny a skonštruopval tiež vysielaè, ktorý využíval pre prenos zvuku svetelný paprsok. Po absolvovaní Huishovho gymnázia v blízkom Tauntone sa Clarke odobral do Londýna, kde nastúpil do štátnych služieb ako úètovný revizor na ministerstver školstva. Tu sa už stal èlenom Britskej medziplanetárnej spoloènosti, hltal všetky sci-fi poviedky, ktoré sa mu dostali do rúk, a hlavne sám sa pokúšal písa. Rozpracoval nieko¾ko poviedok a román Proti súmraku (Against the Fall of Night), ktorý ale vydal až po mnohých úpravách koncom roku 1948. Životný úspech ale mal Clarke stále pred sebou. Ten prišiel v roku 1968 s dielom 2001: Vesmírna odysea (2001: Space Odyssey), ktoré vzniklo po spolupráci s režisérom Stanley Kubickom na základe Clarkovej poviedky Hliadka (Sentinel). Neskoršie Clarke túto tému rozvinul v dielach 2010: Druhá vesmírna odysea (2010: Space Odyssey Two), 2061: Tretia vesmírna odysea (2061: Space odyssey Three) a 3001: Posledná vesmírna odysea (3001: The Final Odyssey). Druhým vyvrcholením Clarkovej tvorby bol román Stretnutie s Ramom (Rendezvous with Rama). Kniha získala za rok 1973 všetky k¾úèové ceny, ktoré môžu by autorom S-F udelené: Huga, Nebulu, Cenu Johna W. Campbella a Cenu Jupiter za najlepší román roka. Spoloène s Gentry Leemom potom v tejto téme pokraèoval románmi Návrat Rámu (Rama II), Záhrada Rámova (Garden of Rama) a Rama tajomstva zbavený (Rama Revealed).

    Extractions: The First Electronic Church of America Arthur C. Clarke Arthur C. Clarke was born December 16, 1917 in Minehead, Somersetshire, England, the son of a farmer who began his career as a bureaucrat (in the British Civil Service) and a radar instructor in the Royal Air Force, and ended up as a celebrated author and television presence. He was a commentator, with Walter Cronkite, on the U.S. Apollo space missions that put the first men on the moon in the years 1968 to 1970, and he hosted two major series that still play on international television. He has won honorary degrees from universities all over the world, he has won Emmies, he has won all the major science fiction writing awards. In the popular mind, he is most noted for his screenplay, "2001, A Space Odyssey," released in 1968 by MGM and directed by Stanley Kubrick, perhaps the most celebrated science fiction movie of all time. Clarke has a gigantic list of other works. Many of them are science fiction of a high order. Childhood's End is a science fiction classic about a race of space aliens who come to guide Earth to peace and prosperity by eliminating all individual governments (and, therefore, war) and solving the problems of poverty, hunger and oppression. It is often placed alongside Mary Shelley's

    Extractions: "I've written dozens of books on the subject (space travel) and I'm sick and tired of talking about it. I've nothing new to add, except I think more and more that the new space age, and the new everything age, is linked more and more to the new energy revolution... "For one thing, there is this so-called cold fusion. Which is neither cold nor fusion. Very few Americans seem to know what is happening, which is incredible. It's all over the world, except the United States. There are hundreds of laboratories doing it, they've got patents all over the place. The prototypes are on sale now .... There are so many vested interest. There are the hot fusion boys. All the rocket engineers will be out of jobs, and a lot of the poor guys are already. I don't like to guess at the scenario, but I would say that before the end of this decade, the hand waving will be over and people will accept that this energy exists, whatever it is, and there may actually be several different varieties. A lot of heads will roll at the U.S. Department of Energy and elsewhere."

O'Brien UK writer, resident since 1956 in Sri Lanka, one of the grand masters of science fiction with Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein . Apart from his literary endeavours, however, Clarke may best be remembered as the inventor of communication satellite, an idea he first expounded in a 1945 article entitled 'Extraterrestial Relays.' "Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living. Since the dawn of time, roughly a hundred billion human beings have walked the planet Earth. Now this is an interesting number, for by a curious coincidence there are approximately a hundred billion stars in our local universe, the Milky Way. So for every man who has ever lived, in this universe, there shines a star. " (from Clarke's foreword in 2001, A Space Odyssey Arthur C. Clarke was born at the coast town of Minehead, as the eldest of four children. He became interested in science in early age, and constructed his first telescope at thirteen. Clarke's father died when he was fourteen and his mother, left with her children, gave riding lessons to augment the family income. While in school Clarke started to writes 'fantastic' stories and read eagerly the magazine Astounding Stories . He also read works from such writers as H.G. Wells and Jules Verne and looked at the stars through his homemade telescopes. On leaving school he worked in the Exchequer and Adult Department in London. His apartment became the headquarters of the British Interplanetary Society, and in 1949 he became its chairman. Clarke served from 1941 to 1946 in the Royal Air Force, specializing in radar, and sold during the service his first science-fiction stories. In 1945 he wrote a technical paper that was the forerunner of communication satellites. The essay war reprinted in ASCENT TO ORBIT, a collection of his technical writings, that he brought out after receiving the Marconi Award in 1982 for his contributions to communications technology.
