Interview With Ray Bradbury
from the video-games-are-male-ego-crap dept
Salon is running a great interview with Ray Bradbury. The first half of the article just talks about how Bradbury is "hot" in Hollywood these days, as they're working on a bunch of movies based on his writings. They also talk about how his books (mainly Farenheit 451) have done an excellent job predicting (inspiring?) a number of technological advances we take for granted today. Yet, for the most part, he considers that to be a bad thing. His books were about how troublesome technology could become - and a lot of that (he believes) is coming true. He's very opinionated and not shy about that at all. He says that video games are "male ego crap". He hates the internet, saying it's a big scam by computer companies, but later says he loves all "arts" and talks about how much he loves movies and theater. Definitely an interesting read.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
