What Members Thought
Every Ray Bradbury book is a jewel which transcends genres. As usual, he plays with metaphors and allegories, laced with his unmistakable style. Written 70 years ago, this is actually us now, humans "emphasizing the wrong items, emphasizing machines instead of how to run the machines". It never gets old. The stuff of immortal writers.

Read the original 1950 paperback. Very different than the ones published after 1997! Really loved a lot of these stories. Very original.
'50s flavor Science Fiction, interconnected stories of colonization of Mars, and social commentary of life on Earth.
