Clarke was always more likely to get the science right, but without ignoring the characters (which was a hallmark of most hard SF of the day). Important works include "Childhood's End", "2001: A Space Odyssey" [necessary to understand the movie], and "The Nine Billion Names of God" [his best collection]. [C] == Short Story Collection. [J] == The book is for juveniles (however you define them) [NSF] == Not SF [O] == Omnibus.
