Default Ray Bradbury 1920 - 2012
Ray Bradbury has died at the age of 91 - as far as I know the last of the "greats" of the early days of science fiction.

Asimov, Bradbury, Clarke. All gone.

Fahrenheit 451 is one of my favourite books. Thanks, Ray.

For some reason I always thought the famous Bradbury building (Blade Runner) was named after him.

turns out the grandson of the mining millionaire who commissioned the building was a science fiction writer and friend of Ray Bradbury (no relation).
