Arthur Clarke is a gifted writer, but ruins his good stories by interweaving his own lack of morals and his hatred of Christianity into his books.
They become more propaganda than science fiction or are agenda driven pieces disguised as science fiction.
His older works are better, less agenda driven but his newer stuff is just pure homosexual perversion wrapped up in an sci-fi setting.
Arthur C. Clark is dead. He died 19 March 2008. I have read most of his stuff and was unaware that he was either anti-Christian or homosexually perverse. He was the first to suggest the usefulness of geosynchronous orbits. 2001 a Space Odyssey was about the dangers of AI, and that the Creator was not finished with life in the Solar System.
