    Have not heard of that book yet.
    Also don't forget the sequel to 2001:A Space Oddessy.
    2010: Oddessy Two.
    I could have that title wrong...

    Also there is someting else that he proposed.

    What was it?...

    If you have not read "Dune" then you are missing out on a lot.

    No, I don't have it either, as far as I know.

    Maybe after I finish 2010, I will start reading that book...

    I was never impressed by Dune. Seemed really dry to me.

    Cool.

    Since no one has tried to answer the question about what Arthur C. Clarke had proposed once, the answer was he proposed a Geo Syncrosis Satilite...

    I might have mispelled Satilite...
