He co-wrote the screenplay for the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, widely regarded as one of the most influential films of all time. Clarke was a science fiction writer, an avid popularizer of space travel, and a futurist of a distinguished ability. He wrote many books and many essays for popular magazines. In 1961, he received the Kalinga Prize, a UNESCO award for popularizing science. Clarke's science and science fiction writings earned him the moniker "Prophet of the Space Age". His science fiction writings in particular earned him a number of Hugo and Nebula awards, which along with a large readership, made him one of the towering figures of the genre. For many years Clarke, Robert Heinlein, and Isaac Asimov were known as the "Big Three" of science fiction. Clarke was a lifelong proponent of space travel. In 1934, while still a teenager, he joined the BIS, British Interplanetary Society. In 1945, he proposed a satellite communication system using geostationary orbits. He was the chairman of the British Interplanetary Society from 1946 to 1947 and again in 1951–1953. Clarke immigrated to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in 1956, to pursue his interest in scuba diving. That year, he discovered the underwater ruins of the ancient original Koneswaram Temple in Trincomalee. Clarke augmented his popularity in the 1980s, as the host of television shows such as Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World. He lived in Sri Lanka until his death. Clarke was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1989 "for services to British cultural interests in Sri Lanka". He was knighted in 1998 and was awarded Sri Lanka's highest civil honour, Sri Lankabhimanya, in 2005. Audio source ⁠(and more) here⁠⁠ Full Wikipedia entry ⁠here⁠ Arthur C.

We pay homage this week to one of the greatest science fiction writers of all time, Arthur C. Clarke, with his Tale "The Nine Billion Names of God."  Clarke is probably best known for his novel "2001: A Space Odyssey" and other works of hard sci-fi, but this short work is arguably more about metaphysical considerations. It won the retrospective Hugo Award for Best Short Story for 1954, one of five Clarke would collect in his lifetime.  If you'd like to support The Well Told Tale, please visit us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thewelltoldtale Books - (buying anything on Amazon through this link helps support the podcast): 2001: A Space Odyssey - https://amzn.to/3dKsFEO   Childhood's End - https://amzn.to/31pBVt6   The City and the Stars - https://amzn.to/3dKYtsZ Films2001: A Space Odyssey - https://amzn.to/35cfR6e     Arthur C Clarke Collection: - https://amzn.to/34jZDcd  I would like to thank my patrons: Toni A, Joshua Clark, Maura Lee, Jennifer Wood, Jane, Kaffee Stark, Leathery Wings and Drew Atkins. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/thewelltoldtale)

In this episode of our podcast, we discuss the very famous and mysterious short story "Nine billion names of God" by Arthur C. Clarke. Nine billion names of God' is a story about how a Tibetan lamasery is looking to use the latest technological advances in computer to write down all the possible names of God in a unique language they have created. It is said, by the Lamasery's abbot, that upon completion of this grandiose task, when God's name will be written, the Universe will GO OUT like a light. It is relatively a short story, so we encourage our listeners to read it before they listen to this podcast episode. This story is very unique and packs a really strong punch. The aftertaste of this story is such that you won't be able to pin what part of the story, which characters, what ideas hit you so hard that it left you a little bit different. This, we think, is exactly the genius of Arthur C. Clarke who comes from the fame of works like 'Space Odyssey', 'Childhood's ends', 'The Sentinel' and so on which placed him among one of the best sci-fi writers of all time.

Introducing Nine Billion Names of Fear, a podcast exploring fear and how it informs our daily lives and experiences.

Arthur C. Clarke respondió con una reveladora autoevaluación de su obra de ciencia ficción que cito aquí: “Me pides que mencione tres cuentos diferentes. Probablemente mi favorito es ‘Tránsito de la Tierra'; tal vez el mejor sea ‘The Nine Billion Names of God' o ‘The Star'; y creo que mi cuento más representativo es ‘The Sentinel', ‘A Meeting With Medusa', tiene elementos de todos ellos... es uno de mis cuentos favoritos, uno de los mejores, y creo que muy representativo de mi obra”. Finalmente Clarke optó por “Tránsito de la Tierra” (1978) y el escritor americano Josh Pachter incluyó en LA CREMA DE LA CIENCIA-FICCIÓN publicado en el año 1983.
