Acclaimed author Ray Bradbury died earlier this morning in Los Angeles at the age of 91, according to io9. Best known for his works of dystopian fiction, such as Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and countless others, Bradbury revolutionized the sci-fi genre and opened the eyes of the world to the art of sophisticated storytelling with a fantasy twist.
His grandson, Danny Karapetian, shared the following statement with io9 about his grandfather:
None
Bradbury's death leaves a hole in the sci-fi community that can never be truly filled. If you haven't done so yet, be sure to start catching up on his work. It's some of the most thought-provoking and transcendent literature of the 20th century.
