Excerpt From Arthur C. Clarke's Last Work
Ubuntukitten writes "The Telegraph is running an excerpt from Arthur C. Clarke's last work, called 'The Last Theorem.' Fellow writer Frederik Pohl helped out. It's a reassuring chunk of old-fashioned sci-fi, describing an Olympics that's set on the moon. Typically for Clarkian sci-fi, is very much about the practicalities of mounting a Lunar Olympics, rather than any wild fantasy." The excerpt's centerpiece is a trip to the moon that begins with a space elevator ride. The book will be published on Aug. 1.
That man is scary-stunning-awesome. If you haven't already done so, go read "The Nine Billion Names of God".

I'm sure you writen other posts describing stories as weirdly familiar.
You post seems weirdly familiar.
You know what they say about opinions. They're all fabulous!
That's why it's called "The Last Theorem" and a seperate book! Arthur Clarcke had a truly marvellous short story about this Lunar-based sport event which the margin was too narrow to contain.
