Arthur C. Clarke's A Fall of Moondust (1961), the closest he came to writing a sci-fi thriller. And it's a pretty decent one. The dust cruiser Selene takes tourists on jaunts across the the largest of the lunar dust seas, the Sea of Thirst.

Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange - What is the geometry of the universe in "The Wall of Darkness" by Arthur C Clarke?

@JorgeStolfi I think you're referring to:

The Wall of Darkness by Arthur C. Clarke.

Though I'm not sure if the planet in that story exactly fits the topology you describe.

The City and the Stars - Wikipedia

@jdnicoll
Arthur C Clarke addressed in at least two novels: Against the Fall of Night (his first novel), The City and the Stars (a page one rewrite of Against the Fall of Night, to the point that they're different enough that both are worth reading), and possibly others.

Neither Asimov nor Clarke had a hint of the current political noise for or against depopulation in their fiction.

I'm a sci-fi fan but my tastes are strictly old school. I don't read anything written since the 90s. And not much written since the 60s, apart from some of the cyberpunk writers.

One of the first sci-fi novels I read was Arthur C. Clarke's The City and the Stars and I still regard it as one of the half dozen best sci-fi novels of all time.

Some writers I like -

I thought he was *American*. I thought he was some straight-laced 50s era American, not a queer Somerset farm boy that fucked off to live in Sri Lanka with his Sri Lankan partner. Amazing. If only they'd taught us this in school.

@godlessmom As a teen, I remember reading Arthur C Clarke’s “The Nine Billion Names of God.” Gave me the shivers then; still does. .

Don't know how many times I've watched this over the years and it still blows my mind how accurate some of these predictions are.

Arthur C. Clarke shares his vision of what a City of the future may look like, taken from a Horizon broadcast on BBC, 1964.
