E' morto a 91 anni. La leggenda della letteratura di fantascienza (ho usato apposta "letteratura" perché qui il genere scolora nella letteratura vera) Ray Bradbury. Ovviamente lo ricorderemo soprattutto per Fahrenheit 451. Nelle prossime ore con un po' di calma e ragionandoci.

Intanto riporto (copiando l'idea di The Atlantic Wire ) le sue parole sulla fantascienza, in una intervista pubblicata dalla Paris Review nel 2010:

"Science fiction is the fiction of ideas. Ideas excite me, and as soon as I get excited, the adrenaline gets going and the next thing I know I’m borrowing energy from the ideas themselves. Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn’t exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible."
