Reviews

“Ray Bradbury has accomplished what very few artists do. With his visions of possible futures and edgy presents, he has shown us a way out of the trap of our selves, shown us how we can break the momentum of the past, of our habits and willful ignorance. He has not only transformed science fiction, he has changed us. - Boston Sunday Globe
