A World Ray Bradbury Tried To Prevent...

A couple of weeks ago, there was a terrific discussion of Ray Bradbury's work, organised by Zócalo Public Square.  

Author Lilliam Rivera, Arizona State University Center for Science and the Imagination professor Michael Bennett, and Jonathan R. Eller, Director of the Center for Ray Bradbury Studies at Indiana University, discussed what Bradbury would make of 2020, and what his work can teach us in the current moment - inspired by the famous Bradbury quote, "I don't predict the future so much as try to prevent it." The event was preceded by an introduction from actor/director Joe Mantegna, once the star of Ray's The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit.

The discussion was recorded, and is available to view on Facebook:

Brilliant site. Will recommend it to a fellow Bradbury fanatic. Looking forward to seeing more developments, especially the episodes of the 'Ray Bradbury Theatre' section.
