ACROSS THE SEA OF STARS
It is interesting to note that in the introduction by Clifton Fadiman, copyrighted in 1959, he relates a conversation he had with Mr. Clarke. During this conversation, Mr. Clarke tells Fadiman that orbiting space stations will soon make it possible to broadcast simultaneous world-wide television. He also talks about space satelites. Although the space station idea hasn't worked out quite the way Clarke foresaw, satelites have. In fact, Arthur C. Clarke's vision of communication satelites have guaranteed him steady income since he's paid everytime one goes into orbit.
The stories collected here are seperated into 3 "books" and then there are the 2 novels. Because of the space involved, each book will get its own page. I believe each of the three story collections were published seperately under the same names, but am not positive.
