Ask HN: Which of Arthur Clarke stories should I read and why?

2 pointsby caio1982almost 7 years ago
Hi there! I'm 35 years old and I have yet to read a single story by Arthur Clarke, whom is CONSTANTLY mentioned in comments. The thing is: being a hard-scifi reader, which stories should I read & why? Share away your suggestions please! One-liners synopsis could help :-)

Was just listening to these the other day. BBC Radio adaptation of five of Clarke&#x27;s finest. There&#x27;s a resurgence in &quot;old timey&quot; sci-fi radio plays out there as well. As a new generation discovers what a powerful effect &quot;X-Minus-One&quot; style broadcasts can have on the willing listener ;)<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;TheNineBillionNamesOfGodByArthurCClarke" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.org&#x2F;details&#x2F;TheNineBillionNamesOfGodByArthur...</a>
