Book Club - Read Along, Bradbury


 One of the most celebrated American authors of the 20th century, Ray Bradbury worked in fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, and realistic fiction.

I mentioned that I picked up a book of short stories but couldn't find a source online.  Well, I found a different collection for us.

The Illustrated Man carries a theme of "the conflict of the cold mechanics of technology and the psychology of people."  It was nominated for an International Fantasy Award in 1952.

With it being Star Trek Day, I thought we might start with "The Rocket Man."

It begins on page 63.

"If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics
