Fans Flock To Twitter To Pay Tribute To Science-Fiction Legend Ray Bradbury

This morning, at the age of 91, celebrated science fiction author Ray Bradbury passed away. Best known for his dystopian novels and his imaginative short stories, Bradbury had seen several of his works adapted into radio shows, graphic novels, television shows, and films. His most notable works include The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked This Way Comes, and I Sing The Body Electric. During his lifetime, Bradbury was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, had an asteroid named after him, earned an Emmy, received an honorary doctorate, and earned countless other citations for his distinguished and prolific and deeply influential career.

The impact Bradbury had on multiple generations of fans was evident on Twitter today, as condolences and celebrations of the master writer's life poured in:
