One of the world's most famous science fiction writers. Responsible for works such as ''[[ChildhoodsChildhood's End]]'', the ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' series, ''[[Rendezvous With Rama]]'' and ''[[The Songs of Distant Earth]]''. Has influenced almost all the science fiction that has arrived in his wake, from ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' to ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. Much of his fiction features [[O. Henry]] style [[Twist Ending|twist endings]] at the end of each story or chapter. He is considered one of the "Big Three" of [[Science Fiction]] along with [[Isaac Asimov]] and [[Robert A. Heinlein]]. He was the last of the Big Three to leave us, after Heinlein and Asimov, in that order.
 
He is often credited with inventing the geostationary communications satellite, although in fact he did not originate the idea.
