Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury was an American author and screenwriter best known for his highly imaginative short stories and novels that blend poetic style, nostalgia, social criticism, and awareness of technology's hazards. His most celebrated work is Fahrenheit 451 (1953), a dystopian novel about a future society where critical thought is outlawed. During a career spanning over seventy years, he wrote more than 400 short stories and nearly fifty books across fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, and realistic fiction genres.
