I didn't know you wrote the Silicon Jungle. I remember reading that years ago. Amazon lists it for sale, used, at prices from $0.01 to $22.89. I just ordered a copy listed as "very good" for $2.50 (plus $3.99 shipping) to add to my library. Should I send you a royalty? As to Clarke, I remember reading his "Exploration of Space" when I was a kid, under the covers with a flashlight because I was supposed to be asleep. One of my strongest memories is my fervent wish, at that young age of about 8 or 10, that I would be alive to see Clarke's prediction of satellites being launched from the Earth.

His books gave me a life-long interest in science and space exploration and I am sure many others will say the same. Vale A.C. - you will be missed.
