Well written and quite thorough biography that describes the visible Clarke. He was from a conventional world but chose to live a rather unconventional life in Sri Lanka. How unconventional he was is for another book. It is likely that the more complete picture will be some form of biopic rather than a book. His film legacy, film treatment of his books and documentaries, is large and likely available to anyone wanting to bring this very interesting man to life. Enjoyed his books and likely will reread them to recapture he universe as he envisioned it. ( ) A conventional biography of an unconventional man, Arthur C. Clarke, who is a member of my "Big Three" of favorite science fiction writers (the other two being Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury). Well-written, organized, and a useful tool for anybody who has followed Clarke's career and would like to know just "where does he get his ideas?"
