Nos hacía mirarnos a nosotros mismos y pensar: “Si hemos logrado esto, ¿qué más seremos capaces de hacer?” Sin embargo, conforme pasaron los años desde la última misión tripulada en 1972, la pregunta se ha vuelto un poco más melancólica: “Si habíamos logrado aquello, ¿por qué no fuimos capaces de hacer más?”

"Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for."
~ Ray Bradbury
"The rain continued. It was a hard rain, a perpetual rain, a sweating and steaming rain; it was a mizzle, a downpour, a fountain, a whipping at the eyes, an undertow at the ankles; it was a rain to drown all rains and the memory of rains. It came by the pound and the ton, it hacked at the jungle and cut the trees like scissors and shaved the grass and tunneled the soil and molted the bushes. It shrank men's hands into the hands of wrinkled apes; it rained a solid glassy rain, and it never stopped."
-- #FirstSentences of Ray Bradbury's "The Long Rain"

A definitive guide to the American political dystopia — from Fahrenheit 451's burning books to Octavia Butler's eerily prescient 2024, Philip K. Dick's manufactured realities, Ursula Le Guin's anarchist ambiguity, and N.K. Jemisin's enslaved geological workers. Why these five writers share a single tradition, and what that tradition demands of the reader.
Any discussion about the late, great #RayBradbury and what his greatest work was, will have #TheIllustratedMan in the conversation.

Reality will kill you unless you deal with it through myths and metaphors.
