Well it's true. If you take some of the words from some of his plays and rearrange the letters (and add a couple) you can make the phrase "These plays were not written by the Bard, but by somebody else altogether. Not going to tell you who because it will drive people nuts in the future".

Now, there is no way anybody can tell me that's a coincidence, it must be definitive proof and anybody who says it isn't is clearly an agent of the forces of reactionism.

Yes, they were really written by Ray Bradbury

Sorry, you set yourself up for that one.

Well, since Bradbury is clearly an artiste of unimpeachable genius...

Someone needs to update his Wikipedia entry, stat!

Getting back on topic (please), do we have any more insights and observations on Bradbury's influence and/or reaction to technologies that he might be in favor of or against?

I'll go off-topic (sorta) for a moment and note that when I read this thread title, I pictured a bonfire of flaming, melting SOny Readers. It was quite the mental image. Compared to that, what I skimmed through in this thread was disappointing.
