All Editions of Cradle. 1990, Mass-market paperback. 1989, Mass-market paperback. Books by Arthur Charles Clarke. Related Books. Rendezvous with Rama. The Fountains of Paradise. Customer Reviews. A rare collaboration. Die hard traditional Arthur Clarke fans will probably be put off a bit by the essentialy gratuitous sex details that, in my opinion, do not add significantly to the story development, but seem to have been added to increase sales to a post-1970s American audience. It is almost possible to discern which chapters were written by which author. Except for those distractions, it still very much bears the stamp of Clarke's genius as the seeminghly disparate pieces of this cosmic SF adventure "bolero" come together like seperate trains moving through a switchyard maze to the inevitible collision at the "Aha moment" where it all makes sense. Over all, a very good read. Cradle (1988) Unfortunately, while this book has an interesting premise, the characterisation is pathetic. The way people in this book talk and think is totally unbelievable. I gave up on it well before the 100 page point. Yesterday (11/02/06) during lunch, I finished my most recent book: Cradle, by Arthur C.

  • Arthur C. Clarke Fred Körper, SFGH-Treffen 21.02.2009
    SF-Klassiker: Arthur C. Clarke Fred Körper, SFGH-Treffen 21.02.2009 Sir Arthur Charles Clarke (* 16. Dezember 1917 in Minehead, Somerset, England; † 19. März 2008 in Colombo, Sri Lanka) war ein britischer Science-Fiction-Schriftsteller. Durch den Film 2001: Odyssee im Weltraum von Stanley Kubrick, der auf einer Kurzgeschichte Clarkes beruht und dessen Drehbuch Clarke gemeinsam mit Kubrick schrieb, wurde er auch außerhalb der Science-Fiction-Szene bekannt. Clarke gilt als Visionär neuer Technologien, die er außer in Science-Fiction-Romanen und Kurzgeschichten auch in wissenschaftlichen Artikeln beschrieb. 1 Leben 2 Werk 2.1 Romane 2.2 Erzählungen 2.3 Kurzgeschichtensammlungen 2.4 Gemeinschaftswerke 2.5 Autobiografisches 3 Verfilmungen (Auswahl) 4 Clarke'sche Gesetze Leben Arthur Charles Clarke wurde am 16.Dezember 1917 in der Grafschaft Somerset im Südwesten Englands geboren. Von 1927 bis 1936 besuchte er die Huish's Grammar School in Taunton/Somerset und las bereits als Jugendlicher die Werke von H. G. Wells und Olaf Stapledon. Da Clarke aus finanziellen Gründen ein Studium zunächst verwehr blieb, ging er 1936 nach London und arbeitete dort zunächst im Staatsdienst. 1941 trat er als Radaroffizier in die Royal Air Force ein. Diese Erfahrungen liegen dem Roman Glide Path zugrunde. Seine Idee, geostationäre Satelliten zur technischen Kommunikation zu nutzen, die er 1945 unter dem Titel Extra-terrestrial Relays – Can Rocket Stations Give World- wide Radio Coverage? in der wissenschaftlichen Zeitschrift Wireless World veröffentlichte, erlebte 1964 mit dem Saetelliten Syncom 3 ihre Verwirklichung. Ihm zu Ehren wird daher der geostationäre Orbit auch „Clarke Belt“ beziehungsweise „Clarke Orbit“ genannt. Von 1946 bis 1948 studierte er Mathematik und Physik am Londoner King's College.

I am also greatly indebted to Utopian Studies Society and its members for gladly helping me throughout this study to see beyond the theories and histories during conferences, in our talks, and even with emails. I am privileged to have had the opportunity to talk to them, and improve my critical lens well beyond the texts into the daily life thanks to their eye- opening remarks on different perspectives in the field of utopian studies. Also, I am very much indebted to the Arthur C.

  • ARTHUR C. CLARKE a Science Fiction Legend
    Glossary on Kalinga Prize Laureates UNESCO Kalinga Prize Winner-1961 ARTHUR C. CLARKE A Science Fiction Legend [Born : 1917 December 16, Minehead, Somerset , UK - - - ] Arthur C. Clarke’s Laws Clarke’s First Law : “When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.” Clarke’s Second Law : “The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.” Clarke’s Third Law: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic” “ I now realize that it was my interest in astronautics that led me to the ocean. Both involve exploration, of course-but that’s not the only reason. When the first skin-diving equipment started to appear in the late 1940s, I suddenly realized that here was a cheap and simple way of imitating one of the most magical aspects of space flight – weightessness.” ...Arthur C. Clarke 1 Glossary on Kalinga Prize Laureates About Sir Arthur C. Clarke Still going strong and recently Knighted, the visionary inventor of geosynchronous communications satellites is prolific as an author, TV producer, and professional prognosticator. Fascinated by outer space, he has also been drawn to the sea. His membership on Earthtrust’s Advisory Board speaks volumes about his priorities – and Earthtrust’s – as’2001’ has passed and ‘2010’ looms on the horizon. “Fishermen sometimes amuse themselves by spearing mantas and letting the terrified beasts tow their boats – often for miles – before they are exhausted. Why quite decent men wil perpetrate on sea creatures atrocities which they would instantly condemn if inflicted upon land animals (has anyone ever harpooned a hors to make it how his car?) is a question not hard to answer.

The Challenger crew was pulling us into the future, and we’ll continue to follow them.” - PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN [missing illustration] While predicting the future can be hazardous, sometimes it can be done. In 1951, Wernher von Braun and Chesley Bonestell predicted a future in space, above, with a reusable launch vehicle, a space telescope, and a rotating space station. Below is an illustration by Robert McCall which shows this, vision coming true. The space shuttle is a reality, the Hubble Space Telescope will be launched In the near future, and the Space Station wi11 be in operation by the mid-1990s.

  • Techno-Apocalypse: Analyzing Technocracy in Cat’S Cradle, Oryx and Crake, and Its Real World Antecedents
    TECHNO-APOCALYPSE: ANALYZING TECHNOCRACY IN CAT’S CRADLE, ORYX AND CRAKE, AND ITS REAL WORLD ANTECEDENTS A Thesis by JULIA LINDSAY Submitted to the Graduate School at Appalachian State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2018 Department of English TECHNO-APOCALYPSE: ANALYZING TECHNOCRACY IN CAT’S CRADLE, ORYX AND CRAKE, AND ITS REAL WORLD ANTECEDENTS A Thesis by JULIA LINDSAY May 2018 APPROVED BY: _____________________________________ Chris Meade Chairperson, Thesis Committee _____________________________________ Zackary Vernon Member, Thesis Committee _____________________________________ Germán Campos-Muñoz Member, Thesis Committee _____________________________________ Carl Eby Chairperson, Department of English ______________________________________ Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Julia Lindsay 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract TECHNO-APOCALYPSE: ANALYZING TECHNOCRACY IN CAT’S CRADLE, ORYX AND CRAKE, AND ITS REAL WORLD ANTECEDENTS Julia Lindsay B.A, Appalachian State University M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Dr. Chris Meade This thesis interrogates the relationship between technocracy and the destruction of the world in two contemporary works of speculative fiction, Oryx and Crake and Cat’s Cradle. The creation of technologies within a closed society and the asymmetries of power that develop from the distribution of technology lead to observable shifts in biological, social, and environmental realms. The development of this technocracy in the twentieth century is reflected in the maturation and expansion of science fiction, as writers within the genre attempt to criticize material and cultural elements of technocracy through their work. Vonnegut and Atwood display how a technocratic society leaves crippled environments and disabled, genetically altered, and abused bodies of human and non-human animals in its wake.

  • Panel About Arthur C. Clarke
    Science Fiction Book Club Interview with Michael Benson and Robert Godwin May 2018 On the panel is Michael Benson whose book "Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece" just came out last month. In addition to Space Odyssey he has written such books as Cosmigraphics: Picturing Space Through Time. The other member of the panel is Robert Godwin who in 2013 he co-authored a biography of Arthur C. Clarke with Fred Clarke, brother of Arthur, "Arthur C. Clarke: A Life Remembered." And in 2014, he co- authored "2001 The Heritage and Legacy of the Space Odyssey" with Frederick I. Ordway III, (who was technical adviser to Stanley Kubrick for the film 2001 A Space Odyssey). François Peneaud: How did Arthur C. Clarke view 2001, A Space Odyssey in relation to his other works? Did he view it differently since it was a project co-created with Stanley Kubrick? Michael Benson: I had the privilege of spending a good deal of time with Arthur in the early oughts, and there was never any indication of anything other than pride about the work he did with Stanley Kubrick from 1964-1968 on 2001: A Space Odyssey. During my research on my book I did uncover substantial evidence, however, from multiple sources about the extent of Arthur’s financial distress for much of that time, which in turn fed into extreme frustration with Kubrick over the latter’s not permitting publication of the novel until after the film came out. This was somewhat compounded by Kubrick’s lack of candor on the subject – he kept on saying he didn’t have time to read the book closely and make suggestions, and he didn’t want it coming out without his having made them.
