Random quote: "Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts... A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding... " - William Gibson (Neuromancer)

i've only read Fountains of Paradise by Clarke (being content to watch 2001 and 2010 on the big screen) and i really liked it. i've got Rendezvous with Rama on my list as it seems there is a movie in the works: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0134933/.

thank you for some wonderful stories. rest in peace, Sir Arthur.
