As I recall Mr. Bradbury wanted to write a book not unlike Winesburg Ohio but wasn't sure how to go about it. Then he wrote the Mars stories and found to his surprise that he had enough to make a book. He didn't like the 1980's movie adaptation of his book as I understand it. Of course now days the special effects could no doubt be a lot more impressive but it was just the start of computers being used in movies back then. They are supposed to be making a new version I understand.
