Ray Bradbury

 One of my favorite writers of all time, Ray Bradbury spanned the limits of the imagination in his books and often wrote of distopian societies in his dim predictions of what the future held for mankind. I have read just about everything that Ray Bradbury wrote and spent several hours as a kid watching Ray Bradbury theater where his talents were showcased by film-makers attempting to capture the realities expressed by Bradbury and hosted by the author. 1984 and  fahrenheit 451 are probably two of his most famous works. 1984 was a story about a big brother society in which two people fall in love during the apex of a big brother society where the government watches everything that people do, and in Fahrenheit 451 he writes of a culture that is forbidden to read books because of the terrible power that information has on society. though the accuracy of of Bradbury's books in relation to our own timeline is off the books are well written enough that the art definately imitates life in its ability to re-write history into the present and future effectively. definately was my favorite author as a kid and inspired me to read science fiction often. Bradbury for sure left behind a legacy of storytelling that is rarely paralleled and often imitated. his foresight on technological advances and their effects upon mankind are uncanny and sometimes terrifying. I enjoyed this series quite a bit and I will contnue to read and re-read it over and over again.
