I have had the good fortune to have met Clarke in Sri Lanka, Isaac Asimov in New York, and Ray Bradbury in Long Beach, California. I snagged autographed books from each.
Arthur C. Clarke was very generous with his time to those fans who actually sought him out in Sri Lanka. He was a frequent visitor to the swim clubs and other haunts of the ex-pats, but he was also well known to the locals. He said that the future both is and is not shaping up as he had envisioned it and that is how it should be.
