British-born science fiction writer and visionary Arthur C Clarke died at a private hospital in Colombo on Wednesday morning, his office said.
According to officials, Clarke, who had been in and out of hospital, died in Apollo Hospital aged 90.
 
Clarke was the first to suggest the use of satellites orbiting the earth for communication and predicted that commercial space travel would one day be commonplace.
Celebrating his birthday on December 16, Clarke, who wrote many of his more than 70 books in Sri Lanka, expressed his desire for a lasting peace in the island nation.
