Bradbury is from a different time. He's used to how things were when he was young and doesn't feel like he should have to change. But like the man said in No Country for Old Men,
Isaac Asimov wrote about the first time he used a word processor, after writing with a typewriter for half a century. He was terrified of the concept until he actually got his hands on one and started using it, and quickly realized that in many ways it was better. That was in 1981. Bradbury still uses the typewriter, and remains terrified of change. |
I wouldn't say he is terrified of change. I would think he is adamantly opposed to what
he sees as an irrelevant process, ie, the internet.
That's his opinion, and while we all might disagree with it, he has definitely earned the right to distribute his books as he see fit.
He's also earned the right to make any comments he wishes about how his books could be distributed.
The man was a frickin' genius, and few contemporary authors can match him.
