	Ray Bradbury - Wikipedia, den fria encyklopedin
		Ray Bradbury född 22 augusti 1920 i Waukegan, Illinois, nordamerikansk science fiction, fantasy och skräckförfattare, mest känd för The Martian Chronicles (1950) och Fahrenheit 451 (1953).
		Typiskt för många av Ray Bradburys verk (se till exempel The Martian Chronicles ovan), är att de består av en samling noveller, försedda med en ramberättelse, som gör att det är vanskligt att avgöra om verket är en novellsamling eller en roman.
		Trots alla böcker han skrivit om teknologiska företeelser har Bradbury aldrig framfört en bil.

		Bradbury's worldview is unduly shaped by his Illinois boyhood—when he read Burroughs and Jules Verne and dreamed the dreams specific to 1930s sci-fi: missions to Mars, time machines, etc. When technology follows Burroughs and Buck Rogers, as with the space program, Bradbury rushes to embrace it.
		Bradbury has a similar ambivalence for his pulp roots, which he is happy to defend until they cost him literary prestige.

		(Nicholls and Clute): "...By 1943 Bradbury's style was beginning to jell: poetic, evocative, consciously symbolic, with strong nostalgic elements and a leaning towards the macabre....In the USA, at least, he is regarded by many critics as a major literary talent....He is, in effect, a fantasist, both whimsical and sombre, in an older, pastoral tradition.
		The works of Ray and Clifford D. Simak are the major exceptions to the fact that my favorite sci-fi is based mainly on scientific ideas, but I love their stories for other reasons.
