Agreed.

A truly prolific writer and thinker has been lost. My last read of Clarke's was The Light of Other Days, which gave me pause and cause to think deeply.

Yes, very sad news. 

I first got into sci-fi in junior high.  Clarke, Asimov, and Heinlein were always 3 of my favorite authors. 

I wept when I read the news.

His way of rational thinking, particularly in the essay collection "Report on Planet Three" had a profound effect on my own critical thinking skills.

His death is a genuine loss.
