I enjoyed this book about him and Stanley Kubrick.

Space Odyssey: Stanley Kubrick, Arthur C. Clarke, and the Making of a Masterpiece by Michael Benson

"Glide Path" which is a somewhat fictionalised personal account of his wartime experiences working on ground controlled descent & landing is entertaining.

He did make several quite interesting predictions, but as you note some preposterous ones as well.
