It is difficult to have a discussion with someone about science fiction if they are not familiar with the works of Arthur C Clarke. The concepts are not too awfully difficult to understand and not nearly as complex as reading Issac Asimov for the science fiction novice and anyone can enjoy Mr. Clarke's works. If you are interested in science fiction, I recommend this set of audio tapes:

The Arthur C Clarke Collection, including "2001 A Space Odyssey" "Transit of Earth" "Fountains of Paradise" and "Childhood's Earth"

They are available all together in one easy to listen to collection. It will be an excellent review of Arthur C Clarke's works. Arthur C Clarke is one of the great science fiction writers of all time and much of his work is now been set as a goal for scientists to make into reality. It was a pleasure to review all of these works in this rather long audio series and there was rarely a dull moment. It is interesting to see how the science fiction of yesterday becomes the reality of today and how the same science fiction today is becoming closer and closer to tomorrows reality. It was read in the authors voice and it made it that much more real. Arthur C Clark is not only brilliant, but we are lucky to have had him on the planet. Order these audio tapes today and you will be glad you did.
