He's still alive. I managed to see him speak in person at some public jig. He's confined to a wheelchair though thanks to a stroke he had, and pretty weak physically but he still had the energy to talk to everyone about his life and such. Very interesting life he's lived. I mean seriously, have you ever in your childhood had a guy in a circus surrounded by arcs of lightning point his finger at you and in an awe-inspiring voice say, "LIVE FOREVER!"?
Gah, can't believe I missed this. Just re-started Rama, too.
I think the enduring image of him in my mind is him being interviewed a couple of years back, wearing a T-shirt reading 'I invented the satellite and all I got was this lousy T-shirt.'
Well, goodbye Arthur. May your future dreams be realised one day, eh?
