His work was done anyway, and late attempts to advance what he had done weren’t going where they should have gone. But he did enough. He was no hard SF writer, but he had the imagination.

We’ll be reading Ray Bradbury a long time after many other awarded and acclaimed authors of contemporary SF have been clean forgotten.
RIP – Ray Bradbury

Preparation of heart is the unlearning the prejudices of evil converse
