Bradbury, Sheckley, Ballard

The official promotional site for the late Ray Bradbury.

Bradbury's New York Times obit.

A nonacademic but detailed Bradbury fan site.

Waukegan, Bradbury's home town.

But he writes Martian Chronicles in southern California:

The arid and expanding metropolis of midcentury L.A.

The California desert. People settle there.

Mars is our dying planet, says Robert Markley.

Where a lot of sf really takes place. A place for you in it.

A place beyond it.

That Teasdale poem. A Longfellow poem.

A poem about a ruin that you guys might know. A poem about a ruin that you might prefer.

A military rank.

Some funny aliens. Some funny body parts.

A scary big institution. Another scary big institution.

But maybe we should be more afraid of this. Or of this.

A very good and very serious nonacademic Ballard journal and fan site.

An important word. A once very famous poem.

Obsolescent tech. Also these. And this?

Would you rather build these, or live in these?
