RSS Communicating Join The Planetary Conversation Arthur C. Clarke 10.24.05, 9:00 AM ET Talking about the future of communications at a time of rapid change can be foolhardy, if not outright hazardous. Even if we know the limits of the possible, it is difficult to guess when these developments might take place. For example, when I proposed the idea of the geostationary communications satellite exactly 60 years ago (in Wireless World , October 1945), I imagined it would be achieved within a few decades. In reality, it took only two. And when I wrote a short story called "Dial F for Frankenstein" in 1962, I had no idea that it would one day inspire British scientist Tim Berners-Lee to invent the World Wide Web (in 1990). The story had a scenario where all the telephones in the world were connected to each otherwith results that now seem obvious in hindsight. Vint Cerf On Networking In Space Paul Saffo On The Most Surprising Developments In Communication We as a species have a deep urge to communicateso if something is technologically feasible, we will pursue it sooner rather than later. Virtually everything we wish to do in the field of communications is now within the reach of our technology. The only remaining limitations are financial, legal or political. In time, I am sure, most of these will also disappearleaving us with only limitations imposed by our own morality. How we shape the networked world of the future lies entirely in our handsand minds.

Return to the INE Main Page LETTER FROM ARTHUR C. CLARKE From: NEN, Vol. 3, No. 9, February 1996, p. 19. COPYING NOT ALLOWED without written permission. Dear Hal, [No, not the computer in 2001] Thanks for the January New Energy News that just arrived. A couple of comments you might like to print: l. My "Voice Across the Sea" (Harper 1958) contains a chapter "The Man Before Einstein," in which I point out that by 1890 Heaviside had already arrived at a rigorous proof of E = M C-Squared in his "Electromagnetic Theory." 2. Tapping the earth's rotation by gyroscopes this was used in a science fiction story, probably in "Amazing," around about 1930. I seem to recall pictures of gigantic gyroscopes many stories high. Unfortunately they triggered earthquakes, so the whole idea had to be abandoned! Keep up the good work I really hope that 1996 is the beginning of the new era. Already there's been spin-off from the interview The Sunday Telegraph ran with me on the last day of 1995.... All Best, /s/ Dr. Arthur C. Clarke, CBE

New Scientist Space Technology Environment ... Full Access Article Preview Arthur C Clarke: Still looking at the stars 05 December 2007 Andrew Robinson Magazine issue 2632 "I BET Arthur has forgotten this," British astronomer Patrick Moore tells me before launching into a story about Arthur C. Clarke, his old friend from the heyday of the British Interplanetary Society . In those cold-war times, a group such as the BIS - which advocated space travel and collaboration with the Russians - was the object of official suspicion, not to mention derision from scientists working for the establishment. (In 1956, no less a figure than Richard Woolley, the UK's astronomer royal, asserted: "All this writing about going to the moon is utter bilge.") Moore recalls that around 1950, Clarke went into a museum - it may have been London's Science Museum - carrying a suitcase. "Knowing that he was a member of the BIS, one of the attendant officers insisted on looking into the suitcase to make sure it didn't contain a bomb." Clarke has indeed forgotten ...

March 9, 1997 Space Jam By JOHN ALLEN PAULOS In this sequel to '2001,' a dangerous monolith's superiors may have soured on humans More on Arthur C. Clarke The Final Odyssey. By Arthur C. Clarke. 263 pp. New York: Del Rey/Ballantine Books. $25. In his absence a monolith has exploded Jupiter, turning it and its moons into a secondary solar system. One moon, Ganymede, is colonized by earthlings, but another, Europa, is watched over by a monolith that is either monitoring human affairs or spurring the development of the plantlike beings living under the frozen surface or both. The situation turns grave when Poole learns from his old colleague Bowman, who along with HAL has become a program running within the Europan monolith, that the black slab's superiors may have soured on humans and be up to something nasty. That's enough of the plot. It hangs together reasonably well, although in this third and the subtitle would suggest final sequel to ''2001,'' Mr. Clarke has to struggle to weave all the threads into a coherent narrative blanket. Much of the enjoyment of the book comes from other sources: the high-tech thingamajigs that often differ interestingly from their present-day analogues and the barely disguised commentary on issues like prison reform, Freudian therapy, clitoridectomy, terrorism, religious mania and, of course, computer security and complexity. Mr. Clarke was criticized for grossly underestimating the effort necessary to develop a computer with HAL's ability to converse (and lip-read) by the year 2001. In ''3001'' his attitude to consciousness and artificial intelligence appears to have changed; there are marvels aplenty, but the only real agents seem to be people. Amazingly, even the monoliths are not seen as conscious.

Clarke WHEN NEIL ARMSTRONG stepped out onto the Sea of Tranquillity in that historic summer of 1969, the science fiction writers had already been there for two thousand years. But history is always more imaginative than any prophet: no one ever dreamt that the first chapter of lunar exploration would end after only a dozen men had walked upon the Moon. Neither did anyone imagine, in those heady days of Apollo NI_MPU('middle'); In 1969, the giant multistage rocket, discarded piecemeal after a single mission, was the only way of doing the job. That the job should be done was a political decision, made by a handful of men. (I have only recently learnt that Wernher von Braun used my The Exploration of Space Apollo missions. Even if the spacecraft are reusable, it will still cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to launch every kilogram into space. I think the rocket has as much future in space as dog sleds in serious Antarctic exploration. Of course, it is the only thing we have at the moment, so we must make the best use of it.

74. Collected Stories Of Arthur C. Clarke - Book Review For Zone-sf.com arthur C. clarke Gollancz paperback £9.99 review by Tony Lee This huge volume brings together about 100 short stories from the vaults of the world s most http://www.zone-sf.com/collectedstories.html

the Last Word in Science Fiction magazines online critical articles, interviews, author profiles, retro lists, genre essays, incisive media reviews The Collected Stories Arthur C. Clarke review by Tony Lee This huge volume brings together about 100 short stories from the vaults of the world's most famous living genre writer and, as such, it's a genuine historical document alluding to and commenting upon the phenomenal development and explosive growth of science fiction throughout the middle and latter half of the 20th century. It's also the delivery vehicle for some vintage adventure tales - set on Earth, the planets and moons of our Solar system, and a host of imaginary worlds. Although many SF writers have captured the common attitude of a moment in time, the character of a particular decade or the prevailing mood of an era, Arthur C. Clarke's SF work readily spans modernity from recent past to turbulent present and the future. This is not due to the wisdom of his advanced years - I hasten to add, but largely because his inspiring visions have come to represent the spirit of our SF century more accurately than any comparable body of work. What distinguishes Clarke from his peers, and many talented rivals in the SF field, is his great imagination. He's not a literary writer or an intellectual or even a great stylist like Brian Aldiss, J.G. Ballard, or Philip K. Dick. Whereas other writers in the business may concoct amazing and wonderful objects, then simply contrive situations to explain, explore or describe these things, Clarke's work is somewhat different and often goes one step further. Like all the best SF writers, Clarke also imagines quite amazing and wonderful things, but he then sets out to demonstrate their consequences. In showing us what might happen if... Clarke, more than any other writer, has been tagged "a prophet of the space age" (something he's keen to deny, in spite of his legendary ego). This means that his works are often more closely scrutinised by detractors of the genre for their perceived lack of, or more often their failed, predictive quality.
