Well read, one of the most spookily accurate predictions of future even by Arthur C. Clarke standards. He predicts #tweet style news streams, Facebook (ish), Graphene (obviously) among many other technologies that now feel so much more familiar or plausible. Still waiting for Google to produce an Aristotle AI search engine to excess the sum of human understanding though.
