Clarke’s classic 1972 novel Rendezvous with Rama. Recently, though, my interest was piqued when I learned that actor Morgan Freeman has been trying for years, almost a decade, to make a film adaptation of Arthur C. I also have an instinctive aversion to “hard” science fiction, which focuses on scientific and technical detail. I’ve read very few of the works of the classic authors such as Clarke, Asimov, Heinlein, and Bradbury*, and I have many boxes unchecked in my list of “must-read” science fiction novels. I must admit that I’ve never been a particularly avid reader of science fiction.
