Question: Who was born first, Arthur C. Clarke or John Fowles?
Context: Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious Universe was a popular 26-part television series looking at unexplained phenomena across the universe.  It was first broadcast in the United Kingdom by independent television network Discovery Channel.  It premiered on 15 July 1994.  It was the sequel to "Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World" and "Arthur C. Clarke's World of Strange Powers". John Robert Fowles ( ; 31 March 1926 – 5 November 2005) was an English novelist of international stature, critically positioned between modernism and postmodernism.  His work reflects the influence of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, among others. "Travel by Wire!"  is a short story by English writer Arthur C. Clarke.  His first published story, it was first published in December 1937 in the magazine "Amateur Science Stories".  It was subsequently published as part of the collection "The Best of Arthur C. Clarke 1937-1955".  This story is a humorous record on the development of the "radio-transporter" (actually a teleportation machine), and the various technical difficulties and commercial ventures that resulted. "Improving the Neighbourhood" is a science fiction short story by Arthur C. Clarke.  It was first published in "Nature" on 4 November 1999 and was the first piece of science fiction "Nature" ever published.  It is also the last story included in "The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke", where it is dedicated to Dr. Pons and Dr. Fleischmann. "Hate" is a science fiction short story by British writer Arthur C. Clarke, first published in 1961 and subsequently included in several collections of Clarke's writings, including "The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke".  The story originated when movie producer William MacQuitty asked Clarke to write a film treatment titled "The Sea and the Stars".  Nothing came of the project so Clarke transformed the treatment into a short story.  "If" magazine retitled it "At the End of Orbit" for publication but Clarke preferred his original title because it has "more punch" and it is under that title that the story has since been published. The Collected Stories of Arthur C. Clarke, first published in 2001, is a collection of almost all science fiction stories written by Arthur C. Clarke: it includes 114 in all arranged in order of publication, "Travel by Wire! " in 1937 through to "Improving the Neighbourhood" in 1999.  The story "Improving The Neighbourhood" has the distinction of being the first fiction published in the journal "Nature".  The titles "Venture to the Moon" and "The Other Side of the Sky", are not stories but the series titles for groups of six interconnected stories, each story with its own title.  This collection is missing several stories, for example "When the Twerms Came" which appears in his other collections "More Than One Universe" and "The View from Serendip".  This edition contains a foreword by Clarke written in 2000, where he speculates on the science fiction genre in relation to the concept of short stories.  Furthermore, many of the stories have a short introduction about its publication history or its literary nature.
