Forget Asimov, Clarke is King of SF, I mean he gave the world sat telecomms FOR FREE and beat the nazi's using something called radar.
How cool is that?

I'll just assume you're being sarcastic... Sure Clarke is really good SF writer but Asimov is just as good as he is...

Yeah u got me, but while Asimov is a god I do love Clarke more somehow, probably for his rw applications let alone his awesome prose.
I mean its one thing to be a sf god but to design and donate for FREE global communications and what it means is way out there.
We (UK) have the original document and the US National Air & Space Museum (Smithsonian) has the only copy.

This was during WW2 in 1945, NINETEEN FORTY FIVE.

Yeah, you can really say he was above his time  You really have to operate on a different level just to imagine sth like that...
