Fahrenheit 451: Author

Ray Bradbury was an American fantasy and horror author who rejected being categorized as a science fiction author, claiming that his work was based on the fantastical and unreal. His best known novel is Fahrenheit 451, a dystopian study of future American society in which critical thought is outlawed. He is also remembered for several other popular works, including The Martian Chronicles and Something Wicked This Way Comes. Bradbury won the Pulitzer in 2007, and is one of the most celebrated authors of the 21st century. He died in Los Angeles on June 5, 2012, at the age of 91.

The famous futurist and author Ray Bradbury is one of America’s greatest writing exports of the last hundred years.
His novel Fahrenheit 451, in my humble opinion, is second only to George Orwell’s 1984 as the greatest dystopian novel ever written and it’s style and craft was way, way ahead of its time — no Bradbury, no Netflix’s Black Mirror.
Bradbury was a prolific novelist, he wrote at least 22 novels with various others being left incomplete or unpublished.
He was an extremely philosophic figure and his ability to look into the future and predict things with unwavering accuracy gave him a supernatural aura and thus the style of his writing often strayed into science-fiction
