Arthur Charles Clarke is an Englishman and science fiction writer. He is notable as one of the "Big Three" authors of science fiction, along with Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, both of whom he regarded as friends.
He invented the concept of the communications satellite[1] and co-wrote the screenplay for the 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. Both the movie and the book were based on "The Sentinel", a short story written by Clark in 1948. He lives in Sri Lanka.
