Arthur C. Clarke was one of the greatest science-fiction writers of all times. The Space Odyssey series is one of the best and realistic science-fiction literature ever written. He was a gift to all who are patrons of science-fiction literature. Alongwith H.G.Wells and Carl Sagain, Clarke belongs to the club of great Sceice-fiction writers.

get your facts right - Sagan was not a sci-fi writer. He wrote on Science - and none of his works are fiction.

sagan was more a popularizer of science. i admit my oversight, Contact was a sci fiction by Sagan, but Sagan cant be bracketed as a 'sci-fi writer'

exactly, contact was by sagan.. it is another matter that he was more concentrated on promoting science. Clarke, along with asimov, is one of the greatest visionaries in the human history
