How is it a prediction? Clarke never said any of his work was meant to be prophetic (although he did sort of claim to have invented the concept of geosynchronous orbits).
One thing I did find odd about his work is the fact that the asteroid impact that starts off Project Spaceguard which finds the Alien craft in "Rendezvous with Rama" occurs on 9-11-2077.
Quoting: lime flavouredClarke DID invent the concept of geo-sync satellites, back in the 1940's. He should have patented it, then he would have become richer than God! At least, he made a damn' good hunk of cash from his excellent sci-fi novels, and movies, though.
