Who is the best sci-fi author? Arthur C. Clarke, or Gene Roddenberry?

[furiousS]

I know Gene did not write a book per se - but he did create Star Trek.

So out of the two - who is the Daddy of Sci-Fi?

 

[McHaggisScoticus]

Arthur C Clarke, by far
A Space Odyssey.

based on popularity i would suggest gene roddenberry in my opinion

Arthur C. Clarke was accurate while Gene Roddenberry was more fun
