Read for school.
Typical over-reliance on technology, totalitarian government, lack of connection with nature.
Good writing anyway, I liked the unorthodox similes (not unlike, not dissimilar to, XXX-like, etc.)

Ray Bradbury seems to be so involved with hatred for new technology that he had to write not one but several stories about it. and they are all so wildly inaccurate as to be almost funny. literally "old man yells at cloud"

A brilliant short story about a dystopian world where critical thinking seems to be nearly extinct. Wonderful writing!

extreme levels of deepness. I liked his dialogue though, reads very naturally

“‘business or profession?’ ‘i guess you’d call me a writer.’”

Sedentariness and passivity are the bane of modern existence.
