Ray Bradbury fue un autor estadounidense influyente, nacido en Waukegan, Illinois, en 1920. Es mejor conocido por sus obras en los géneros de fantasía, ciencia ficción, horror y misterio, y es ampliamente considerado como uno de las figuras más importantes en la literatura del siglo XX. La afición de Bradbury por la lectura comenzó a una edad temprana, con autores como Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.G. Wells y Arthur C. Clarke entre sus primeras influencias. Después de graduarse de la escuela secundaria en Los Ángeles, se convirtió en un "estudiante de la vida", vendiendo periódicos y pasando sus noches en la biblioteca pública. Fue durante este tiempo que comenzó a escribir historias cortas, publicando su primera colección, Dark Carnival, en 1947.
La escritura de Bradbury se caracterizó por su mezcla única de fantasía y ciencia ficción, lo que ayudó a definir y avanzar el género en su conjunto. Su reputación como escritor de coraje y visión se estableció con la publicación de The Martian Chronicles en 1950, y continuó publicando numerosas otras obras, incluyendo Fahrenheit 451, The Illustrated Man y Something Wicked This Way Comes. Muchos consideran que Fahrenheit 451, una condena feroz de la censura, es su obra maestra. Además de sus muchas obras escritas, Bradbury también fue un prolífico escritor de guiones y teleplays, adaptando muchas de sus historias para la televisión y el cine.
A lo largo de su carrera, Ray Bradbury recibió numerosos premios y reconocimientos por sus contribuciones a la literatura. En 2000, recibió la Medalla Nacional del Libro de la Fundación Nacional del Libro por Contribución Sobresaliente a las Letras Estadounidenses. También fue galardonado con la Medalla Nacional de las Artes de 2004 y la Citación Especial Pulitzer de 2007. Bradbury falleció en junio de 2012, dejando un legado que continúa inspirando a generaciones de lectores, escritores y pensadores creativos. Su trabajo sigue siendo ampliamente leído y estudiado, y su influencia en el género de ciencia ficción aún se siente hoy.
Además de su escritura, Ray Bradbury también era conocido por su trabajo en otros campos creativos. Fue nominado a un Premio de la Academia por su película animada Icarus Montgolfier Wright y ganó un Premio Emmy por su teleplay de The Halloween Tree. También adaptó sesenta y cinco de sus historias para la televisión en The Ray Bradbury Theater. La visión creativa de Bradbury se extendió más allá de la literatura y el cine, ya que trabajó como consultor creativo en el Pabellón de los Estados Unidos en la Feria Mundial de Nueva York de 1964 y contribuyó a la concepción de la atracción Orbitron en Euro-Disney, Francia.
Bradbury estuvo casado con Maggie Bradbury desde 1947 hasta su fallecimiento en 2003, y juntos criaron a cuatro hijas y tuvieron ocho nietos. Era conocido por su optimismo y entusiasmo por la vida, y permaneció un escritor y pensador creativo activo hasta su muerte en 2012 a la edad de 91 años. En sus propias palabras, "Tengo buenos planes para los próximos diez o veinte años, y espero que vengan con ustedes". El trabajo de Bradbury continúa inspirando y fascinando a las audiencias, y su legado como escritor y visionario creativo vivirá por generaciones.
