A review by kevin_shepherd
The Golden Apples of the Sun by Ray Bradbury

4.0

Twenty two short stories in my edition, some with powerful themes—extinction (The Fog Horn), feminism (The Wilderness), the nefarious appropriation of technology (The Flying Machine), Neo-Luddism (The Murderer), the Cold War arms race (The Golden Kite, The Silver Wind), immigration and deportation (I See You Never), and racism (The Big Black and White Game)—just to name a few.

If I had a Mount Rushmore of science fiction I would sculpt the likenesses of Ray Bradbury, Issac Asimov, Theodore Sturgeon, and Harlan Ellison—in that order.
