| Re: Childhood's End
clarke's da bomb! and a damn good scientist as well. he's extremely smart and i think that's evident from his clear understanding of "science fact", as you say. i always point out that the geo-synchronous satellite was HIS idea! and that many of the plotlines in his stories are based on proofs and theories that he has read of other's.
that said, i have to say that his latest novels don't interest me as much as the stuff that he wrote in the 70s and 80s. when you get done with childhood's end, you should read against the fall of night. another one of my favorites!
