Arthur C Clarke is the last of the big 3 of the fifties on my list (Asimov
& Heinlein are already done). Clarke was always more likely to get the
science right, but without ignoring the characters (which was a hallmark of
most hard SF of the day). Important works include "Childhood's End",
"2001: A Space Odyssey" [necessary to understand the movie], and "The Nine
Billion Names of God" [his best collection].
