Books by Arthur C. Clarke

If Jules Verne is the father of hard science science fiction, Arthur C. Clarke is his adopted son. Clarke brought solid scientific principles to the genre, sticking hard to the rules of physics. His stories are less science fiction than they are science fact. He is the inspiration for dozens of scientists writing sf today.

His seminal work is Childhood's End, a cornerstone of the genre. A race of creatures takes over the Earth in Independence Day fashion, but their conquest takes an interesting turn of events when their true mission is known. It's arguably the best novel of the 1950s and a true classic.

Although his reputation in sf was assured by this work, his collaboration with filmmaker Stanley Kubrick led to another milestone in the form of the book and the movie of 2001: A Space Odyssey. This is one of the few times written science fiction intersected with filmed sci-fi. Clarke worked under Kubrick's direction to craft a wide-ranging novel spanning the evolution of mankind which would lead to the filmed version. As such, chapters were thrown away and other material rewritten until Kubrick was satisfied. The process was chronicled in The Lost Worlds of 2001

2001 has become Clarke's most enduring work, and has spawned three sequels, including the soon-to-be-published 3001: Odyssey Four.

But Clarke is also responsible for the Rama series about a gigantic alien space ship which wanders through our own solar system in Rendezvous with Rama. The author, in his Eighties, is just as busy as ever, working with collaborators to further explore the scientific-based universe he created.
