It just occurred to me, though, that 2061 (and its villains) do not have a coauthor, although I don't know why that's important to you. Sorry, but your claim that he didn't write villains is just a little silly, and his view of humanity was a little more complicated than "positive." We haven't even got to the short stories. If you've got a few minutes, read Hate and reconsider your thesis: https://books.google.com/books?id=hbAqAAAAQBAJ&lpg=PT13&dq=hate%20by%20arthur%20c%20clarke&pg=PT13#v=onepage&q&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=hbAqAAAAQBAJ&lpg=PT13&dq=h...
