Arthur C. Clarke Had One "Hal" Of A Lifetime HAL 9000 Mr. Clarke's impact on popular culture will be permanently embedded in society, like a giant crater on the surface of the moon. Arthur C. Clarke's work was the inspiration for many other science fiction novels and screenplays, although his creation of the artificially intelligent character Hal 9000 (Heuristically programmed Algorithmic Computer), delayed the acceptance of computer technology by decades, because people were too afraid of the potential power of villainous sentient computers. Arthur C. Clarke was buried in Sri Lanka and it is rumoured that his coffin was onyx black, and the dimensions were 1x2x3. |
