Ray Bradbury by Ray Bradbury

Most noted for his short stories, Ray Bradbury has also written novels, children’s books, plays, screenplays, television scripts, and poetry. His vivid imagination, lively style, and social commentary have set him apart in the world of fantasy and science-fiction writers. Ray Bradbury calls himself a teller of tales and a magical realist. He also claims to remember everything – every book he’s ever read, every movie he’s seen, all the events of his life back to and including his birth, in Waukegan, Illinois, on August 22, Meet the Writer Ray Bradbury

His fantasy stories are often warnings against blind faith in science, but they’re optimistic. By giving strange twists to everyday objects and events, Bradbury challenges his readers to look at them as if for the first time.

Genre A genre is a category or type of literature, such as fiction or poetry. Each genre can be subdivided into more specific categories that can be identified by subject matter, content, or style. Identifying the genre of a selection helps a reader to establish expectations for the work.

Elements of Science Fiction Damon Knight, author, editor, critic, and founder of the Science Fiction Writers of America, that a story with at least three of the following elements is generally perceived to be science fiction: Science Technology and invention The future and the remote past, including all time travel stories Extrapolation (speculation based on signs or omens) Scientific method Other places--planets, dimensions, etc., including visitors from the above Catastrophes, natural or manmade Damon Knight

Science Fiction Although the term science fiction was not used until about 1930, science fiction tales have been told since before the invention of writing. One of the earliest science fiction writers was Lucian of Samosata who, around 100 BC, wrote a fantasy about a journey to the moon. Modern science fiction began to take shape in the nineteenth century.
