Ray Bradbury (1920–2012) did more than almost anyone to carry science fiction into the literary mainstream. With The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451, The Illustrated Man and hundreds of luminous short stories, he brought a poet's eye and a deep humanism to the genre, writing less about technology than about memory, childhood, wonder and loss. Honoured with a Pulitzer special citation and countless other awards, he remains one of the best-loved American writers of the twentieth century.
