RIP, one of the most influential scifi writers of all time. I liked his works because they were often based on actual scientific theory.

Apparently my mother used to visit his house when she was young. He lived in Colombo, Ceylon for a number of decades.

This is indeed sad news.

I'm not sure how much Kubrick used in 2001: A Space Odyssey but that's a masterpiece.
