Clarke, whose science fiction and non-fiction works ranged from the script for &#8220;2001: A Space Odyssey&#8221; to an early proposal for communications satellites, has died at age 90, associates have said. Clarke had been wheelchair-bound for several years with complications stemming from a youthful bout with polio and had suffered from back trouble recently, said Scott Chase, the secretary of the nonprofit Arthur C. Clarke Foundation. He died early Wednesday &#8212; Tuesday afternoon ET &#8212; at a hospital in Colombo, Sri Lanka, where he had lived since the 1950s, Chase said. &#8220;He had been taken to hospital in what we had hoped was one of the slings and arrows of being 90, but in this case it was his final visit,&#8221; he said. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2008\/SHOWBIZ\/books\/03\/18\/obit.clarke\/index.html\">Arthur C.
