Synopsis
Pieces of writing by the master of SF Arthur C Clarke. The pieces themselves consist mostly of space articles (mainly projections of future society), a few articles about Clarke's home, Sri Lanka (once called Serendip, hence the title,) a handful of speeches, autobiographical fragments, one piece of fiction, and a smattering of various other types of articles. As the lifeblood of the book is a series of essays giving future projections for years that have now passed us by. Interesting to read how close his predictions were.

Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Fair: Heavier signs of wear. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). 1979 Edition. © 1972: A non-fiction book by Arthur C Clarke. 2nd printing of 1979 edition:- Synopsis: Speculations on space, science and the sea together with fragments of an Equatorial Autobiography:- Review(s): "The career of Arthur C Clarke is one of the most dazzling success stories of the 20th century. He has succeeded in making a career out of science - and becoming one of the world's richest writers. The film '2001' turned him into a cult figure; his science fiction stories and his prophecies about the future reach an audience bigger than anything H G Wells ever dreamed of. His enthusiasm is so immense that he finds it practically impossible to be dull and his account of his 'continuing love affair' with Sri Lanka, his deep sea diving, his work on the film of '2001' are as absorbing as anything he ever wrote. Certainly a most revealing document" - Colin Wilson, Evening News / "'The View From Serendip' hums with life, offering glimpses of Clarke the Adventurer (both intellectual and physical) that will delight those readers who know him only as a superb popularizer of space science or as one of the best modern science fiction writers. He gives voice to the romantic side of scientific inquiry" - New York Times:- (original cost £1.75). Seller Inventory # 11.001.00935
