Chapter 29.1: Not Science Fiction

As a fan of the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, I was curious whether Sir Arthur C. Clarke had survived. He has reportedly spent most of his waking hours in a wheel chair for years, so he seemed among those unlikely to get out quickly if the waves rushed at his home in Colombo. Like most Americans, I have no idea exactly where in Sri Lanka Colombo is. (Hey, I should at least get a point for knowing where the island was in the first place right?)

But Space.com anticipated my question and got a first-hand response from one of the 20th century's greatest creative minds (at least among writers).
