Written over sixty years ago, this Bradbury piece is almost hauntingly relevant. 'The Pedestrian' paints a bleak picture of a future society where social interaction, human bonding and connecting with nature are all replaced by flickering screens as the main, nay only, form of entertainment. Sound familiar?What similarities do you see in this portrayal of the future and how we live today? Do you think we will ever reach this level of disconnection from each other and nature?I'd love to read your thoughts!

The inimitable Ray Bradbury proved that short fiction can be uniquely powerful. In addition to his novels like Fahrenheit 451, the late author was also a prolific short story writer, distilling massive galaxies and the inherent conflicts of being human into concise but powerful narratives.
