    One of my favorite authors of all time, Ray Bradbury, author of the Illustrated man, Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles and many more, has died 91 years old. The world has lost a great Author and a great man. Descanse en Paz.

    I spent the last year reading Martian Chronicles/Fahrenheit 451 for English.
    Do you know how he died?

    He had suffered a stroke a couple years back which slowed him down until he died of the illness.

    He was also an extreme technophobe and probably the most bitter old man alive.

    He believed television and the internet were the worst inventions ever built and that they set human progress backward.
    He also dedicated the last third of his life to arguing with college students about the meaning of Fahrenheit 451.

    Oh well, his writing was amazing. I read his books for science fiction class and I have to say they were very interesting, if a little centered around technology killing people.
