Ray Bradbry Dies At 91
Ray Bradbury, the last of a generation of Science Fiction giants, which included the likes of Asimov, Heinein and Clarke, has left us.
We now must use what they have given us, their stories, advice and inspiration, to muddle our way through the Sci-Fi world. We are but mere shadows, imitators, pretenders to the now empty thrones of worlds foreseen. The worlds, both real and imagined, seem a bit more empty without them but there is hope. Hope of a new future yet to be written. Hope that one day someone will be able to sit on the throne of Sci-Fi once more and be worthy of the legacy these men have left behind. Hope that it may be one of us, sitting here today pondering what the future may be like and putting it to words in a way that captures the imaginations of all as did the masters before them.
These men left us much to think about. The infinite universe was theirs to create and command. They were the living gods that all sci-fi writers looked to for inspiration and advice. They may no longer be alive but their godhood has not been revoked. They are still the ones we all look to as we wonder what the future of mankind might hold in store for all of us. These visionaries will not soon be forgotten and they will never be replaced. Some may come along who are worthy of joining their ranks but none will ever be worthy of taking their places.
RIP. Ray Bradbury was 91 years old and the Author of Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles as well as other beloved Sci-Fi classics.
