The Arthur C Clarke Shortlist 2006 a review feature by Adam Roberts Links within this feature: Introduction Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go Ken MacLeod, Learning the World Alastair Reynolds, Pushing Ice Geoff Ryman, Air, or Have Not Have Charles Stross, Accelerando Liz Williams, Banner of Souls Who should win? And the winner is... (added after the winner was announced) The word novel means new . 'Novel' was a word applied to prose fiction for the first time in the eighteenth-century (before that novels were 'Romances'), and it signalled precisely the novelty of the form, the way it opened up new modes of narrating and perceiving the world. Can the novel still be novel, in this age of ours? There are times when, traipsing through the marshlands of silver-age fiction and derivative slush that constitutes the mainstream novel in the early twenty-first century, a reader might be forgiven for despairing. But surely SF isn't like this. Surely Science Fiction, of all genres, is one place where not only intellectual but formal newness would be welcomed? A literature of ideas, an imaginative entry into alien-ness and unfamiliarity, a canvas that apprehends the entire continuity of space and time rather than just the emotionally fraught goings-on of middle-class people in multicultural London or Chicago surely we can hope, surely

Best Novel Hugo and Nebula Award Winner SFWRITER.COM Nonfiction Random Musings RANDOM MUSINGS On Arthur C. Clarke by Robert J. Sawyer People keep saying Arthur C. Clarke should stop writing, now that he's "past his prime." No way! I hope he's still producing his solo works in 2001 and beyond. Clarke recently turned seventy-five. When one says to a 75-year-old that it's time for you to stop doing the work you love and instead you should do something else, that something else usually turns out to be dying. I loved Clarke's recent The Ghost From the Grand Banks . Now, it's no Childhood's End , but it is a good piece of Clarke and I thoroughly enjoyed it (and it's better than many of his lesser works from his golden youth, such as The Deep Range ). I also though

The 1945 Proposal by Arthur C. Clarke for Geostationary Satellite Communications Sir Arthur C. Clarke's most famous prediction on the future is his proposal of geostationary satellite communications published in the Wireless World magazine in 1945. Not considered seriously at the time it became a reality within 20 years with the launching on 1965 April 6th of Intelsat I Early Bird the first commercial geostationary communication satellite. A satellite in an equatorial circular orbit at a distance of approximately 42,164 km from the center of the Earth, i.e., approximately 35,787 km (22,237 miles) above mean sea level has a period equal to the Earth's rotation on its axis (Sidereal Day=23h56m) and would remain geostationary over the same point on the Earth's equator. In 2002 the Clarke Orbit had over satellites. The first reference to geostationary satellites is Clarke's letter to the editor titled Peacetime Uses for V2 published in the 1945 February issue of Wireless World (page 58). Arthur Clarke in his Scientific Autobiography Ascent to Orbit published 1984 say that he had forgotten about this letter till he was reminded of it in 1968 by the engineering staff of the Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation.

Novelist and essayist. As a young writer, Clarke developed a vision of the future that proved, from the start, to be startlingly prescient-in 1945 he predicted a satellite system that in fact came into use two decades later. Author of more than 70 books, Clarke began publishing science-fiction novels in 1953, when Childhood's End appeared, followed by The City and the Stars (1956). His novels Rendezvous with Rama (1973) and The Fountains of Paradise (1979) both won the Nebula and the Hugo awards. The 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey is based on Clarke's work.

Beneficiaries of the Gala were James Lovell's The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation, The Arthur C. Clarke Centre for Modern Technologies (ACCMT) and The SETI Institute Haughton Mars Project. Photos are courtesy Rob Godwin, Brook Mantia and Elaine Walker. Foundation President Rick Tumlinson talks to a 3-D hologram of Arthur C. Clarke which was beamed in live from Clarke's offices in Colombo, Sri Lanka. CLARKE GALA REPORT by Brook Mantia, Foundation Secretary Several years ago, the Space Frontier Foundation moved its headquarters from New York to L.A. One of the objectives was, as a media organization, to infiltrate the entertainment community and get our vision out into society on a broader, cultural level. Wouldn't it be totally cool to get Hollywood to endorse/deliver our message, etc.? Well, thanks to the Herculean efforts of mastermind James George, that dream came true at the Clarke Gala. We have finally breached the Hollywood fortress in a big way, with James leading the charge. This has definitely raised the bar of excellence for us, opening all kinds of new exciting possibilities.

His ancestors, as far as he has been able to trace, were all farmers. His interest in science began before he was ten years old, after his father gave him a cigarette card from a series of images of prehistoric animals. He became fascinated by paleontology and collected fossils; before long he switched to astronomy. He built small telescopes from lenses and cardboard tubes, and spent so many nights mapping the Moon that he knew the lunar landscape much better than Somerset. ... Order Star, The

Your first stop will be the Lunar-level platform before we continue on to the New Frontier Space Colony development. The entire ride will take about 5 hours, so sit back and enjoy the trip.

Does this sound like the Sci-Fi Channel or a chapter out of Arthur C. Clarke's, Fountains of Paradise ? Well, it's not.

Clarke the inventor of the communications satellite, author of " 2001 - A Space Odyssey ," " Childhood's End ," " Rendezvous with RAMA ," and numerous other novels; champion of cold fusion and other "free energy" research projects is probably best known for taking Enterprise principal investigator Richard C.

58. Arthur C. Clarke History Lesson: A Modern Allegory Of The Cave Comparison of clarke s works with a modern allegory of The Cave by Plato. http://www.lesekost.de/HHL59Z.htm

Arthur C. Clarke "History Lesson": A Modern Allegory of the Cave Throughout the centuries students have labored at Greek and Latin texts. Plato's dialogues in particular have never ceased to arouse debates and controversial opinions. In a well-known exaggeration the British mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead said: "The safest general characterisation of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato" (9). If one knows a bit of Plato's work it is either the praise of love in The Symposium or the Allegory of the Cave in Book VII of The Republic. This allegory is one of the most debated philosophical stories and one which is disputed anew among every generation. In contrast to the centuries' old philosophy of Plato, science fiction is a comparatively new literary form. It is not always in great esteem within academic circles. However, some science fiction authors do not overwhelm their stories with amazing technical developments but tell stories to ponder on. Often they pick up one of the eternal dreams and give it a modern scientific treatment. In Arthur C. Clarke's science fiction story "History Lesson," one looks at a specific problem, already dealt with in the Allegory of the Cave, from a different point of view. A thorough comparison of "History Lesson" with Plato's famous allegory shows astonishing parallels. Besides its comic twist the story also supports Plato's idea of the deception of evidence.
