He wrote Fahrenheit 411, which was a novel about a society that banned books. if you had books the government would burn them. The book was written in the mid 1900's I want to say the 50s or the 60s. It was set in what was the future then. The people had robotic dogs and wall tvs. It was an interesting book.

Ray Bradbury was a very prolific writer of excellent science fiction novels and short stories. His most famous book is perhaps "Fahrenheit 451", named after the temperature at which ordinary paper will ignite spontaneously.

actually, he wrote (among a ton of other things) fahrenheit 451, which is the temperature at which book paper spontaneously combusts, an attempt to magnify the dangers of a society that would allow the mccarthy HUAC hearings ..a prolific writer and still at it, he is the master at making ordinary situations seem extraordinary, as in dandelion wine, where everything surrounding a young boy's summer in a midwestern small town in the 1920's seems to have mysterious and even sinister meaning...his martian chronicles continue to entertain, with political overtones (in usher II) and amazing sensitivity (dark they were and golden eyed) he wrote the screenplay for moby **** starring gregory peck an amzing writer, imaginative and romantic, even when writing about dinosaurs! i recommend anything you find with his name on it..his inspiration is why i am a writer, too!
