Written by Ray Bradbury. First edition, 2009. William Morrow, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers.
Ray Bradbury (1920 - 2012) was one of America's greatest writers, remembered for elevating science fiction to "the literary mainstream" with such works as Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and The Illustrated Man, and rewarded with the Pulitzer Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and many other awards.
Bradbury writes:
"The stories in this collection were created by two people: The me who watches and the me who writes.
"Both of these creatures inside myself have lived under one sign, which has hung over my typewriter for seventy years: Don't think, do.
"I haven't thought about any of these stories; they are explosions or impulses. Sometimes they are big explosions of ideas that cannot be resisted, sometimes small impulses coaxed to grow."
