The great American writer Ray Bradbury has died, aged 91.
My favourite Bradbury work is the short story The Flying Machine. It is a lovely piece and I recommend a Google search for it. You might find it at http://raybradbury.ru/library/story/53/4/0/ for a free online read and it is certainly worth your time.
Strange to note, Ray Bradbury loved books and libraries but hated the Internet.
I think Arthur C Clarke would rate Ray’s attitude as a very strange failure of imagination.
For me, Tim Berners-Lee’s World Wide Web and the hyperlink are wonders that take us ever closer to the age of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s noosphere.
