Author Ray Bradbury dead at 91

Sci-Fi Author Ray Bradbury passed away at the age of 91

I remember reading a book he wrote in the late 1970's about the future of the space program. A great what if book which almost nothing came true.

Linky

RiP
I confess I thought he was already dead.

"Farenheit 451" seems eerily relevant now given the deteriorating readership of newspapers and the rise of cable "news". I loved his short stories- he has about a million of them. RIP

I read the same book in the early 80s, liked it. Interesting

One of my favorite books is something wicked this way comes. I read it every oct when I was a kid for about 10 years.

I have to admit, I thought he was already dead too.

Whenever DonDiego read a Ray Bradbury story he really wanted to like it more than he did. He ascribes the fault to himself, not Mr. Bradbury.
Mr. Bradbury was a bit of an odd duck who succeeded doing it his way. RIP.
He was a deft wordsmith whose voice an vision altered the topography of my adolescent brain. As a fan of the speculative fiction of a specific era, the trinity for me has always been Ray Bradbury, Charles Beaumont and Richard Matheson.
I thought of him whenever the credit tally on my video poker machine hit 451. (Happens more often than you might think when you're playing Mod 10/7 DB, where SFs and 5-K 4Ks pay 239.)

RIP.
