	His best-known works of science fiction are the ''2001'' series and ''Rendezvous with Rama'', though he wrote many novels and short stories between 1948 and 2007, as well as the ''Chronicles of the Strange and Mysterious'' series which documented real-life sci-fi-style weird shit. He earned many honors throughout his life, including knighthood from the United Kingdom and the highest civilian honor from his adopted homeland, Sri Lanka. He predicted many of the internet-based conveniences we take for granted today in an interview from 1974. The Arthur C.

			Clarke is also known for the three rules which bear his name, often quoted and which have influenced science fiction immensely. These are:

			1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

			2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

			3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

			The third law is the most well known, and references to it can be found in almost every sci-fi universe, from [[Warhammer 40K]] to [[Mass Effect]].
