    And the award for cheerful thought of the day goes to Calinazaret with "Everyone dies at some point."

    In any case, the man was a legend. His legacy won't be forgotten for a very, very long time.

  10. So many of my favourite authors (Stephen Baxter, Alastair Reynolds, and Charles Stross, among others) have cited him as an inspiration. The Songs of Distant Earth is one of my very favourite novels.

    He was a true visionary.
