Popular sci-fi writer Sir Arthur C. Clarke has passed away. He is the author for many of my childhood fav books. Sir Arthur C. Clarke lived in Sri Lanka from 1956 was the chancellor in University of Moratuwa from 1979 to 2002. In my home town, Katubedda he established the institute Arthur C. Clarke Center for Modern Technologies. He selected this hill for his research and thus known has "technical kanda" (technical hill) among locals. This visionary author was the inventor for the concept of communication satellites.
Aged 90, he died due to a cardio-respiratory attack.
