Sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke has died at the age of 90, The Associated Press is reporting.

Rohan De Silva, an aide, reported the writer died in Sri Lanka, where he'd lived since the 1950s, after suffering from breathing problems.

Clarke wrote more than 100 books, including "2001: A Space Odyssey," which was made into a film in 1968, and followed by "2010: The Year We Make Contact," which was turned into a movie in 1984 co-starring Roy Scheider, John Lithgow and Helen Mirren.

According to his IMDB profile, Clarke once theorized that "the only way to discover the limits of the possible, is to go beyond them, into the impossible."

He did that consistently throughout his writing career, and the movie and book worlds are better for it.
