Author
Arthur C. Clarke
Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008) is one of the three names you list when you list the founders of modern hard science fiction. 2001: A Space Odyssey, Childhood's End, Rendezvous with Rama, The Fountains of Paradise. His late collaborations (with Stephen Baxter, Gentry Lee, Michael Kube-McDowell) are uneven but the conceptual ambition stayed Clarkean to the end.
