“These are all novels, all about people that never existed, the people that read them it makes them unhappy with their own lives. Makes them want to live in other ways they can never really be.”

American science fiction writer and short story author of the mid-20th century, Bradbury crafted vivid, poetic visions of the future and human nature. His works like *Fahrenheit 451* and *The Martian Chronicles* explore themes of censorship, memory, and the boundaries between reality and imagination.
