Sci-Fi author Arthur C. Clarke died at age 90, on Wednesday. He wrote more than 100 books in his career.

His most famous book was 2001: A Space Odyssey and three other books followed in this series, with movies being made after them in time.

Clarke, who had battled debilitating post-polio syndrome since the 1960s and sometimes used a wheelchair, died at 1:30 a.m. local time after suffering breathing problems, aide Rohan De Silva told The Associated Press.

His latest novel, "The Last Theorem" has been reviewed by the author and will be published later this year.

After the jump you can see his last appearance on video in December 2007.
