Exile of the Eons: The Long Sleep and the Longer Exile

Exile of the Eons by Arthur C. Clarke - Exiled to an utterly remote future, Trevindor thought he suffered the ultimate punishment . . . until he met the second exile—and learned that the Universe holds things more fearful even than loneliness!

Arthur C. Clarke (1917–2008) was one of the most visionary and influential science fiction writers of the 20th century. Born in Minehead, England, Clarke was a scientist, futurist, inventor, and author best known for blending scientific accuracy with imaginative storytelling. He rose to international fame with his 1953 novel Childhood’s End, and cemented his legacy with 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), developed alongside director Stanley Kubrick. The novel and film explored artificial intelligence, human evolution, and the unknown depths of space, themes central to Clarke’s work.

A trained physicist and lifelong space advocate, Clarke predicted satellite communication decades before it became reality. His essays and stories often explored the intersection of human destiny and cosmic forces, combining awe-inspiring scale with deep philosophical questions. His prose was clear, elegant, and idea-driven—earning him a reputation as a prophet of technological progress.

Among his notable works are Rendezvous with Rama, The Fountains of Paradise, and The Songs of Distant Earth. He was knighted in 1998 and spent much of his later life in Sri Lanka, where he pursued his interests in oceanography and undersea exploration.

Arthur C. Clarke’s “Three Laws”—especially the famous third: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”—remain part of popular culture. His legacy endures in science fiction, science fact, and the dreams of generations to come.
