Ray Bradbury was a prolific and fearsome American philosopher who refused to be dismissed as a science fiction novelist, claiming that his work was based on ambiguity and untruth. His best-known novel is Fahrenheit 451, a dystopian study of the future American society in which the illusion is permissible. He is remembered for many other popular works, including the Martian Chronicles and Something Bad This Way. Bradbury won the Pulitzer Prize in 2007, and is one of the most acclaimed writers of the 21st century.
