What struck me was that Bradbury was happy to know that F451 is a classic that is still taught in schools but he doesn't want to accept the flipside of that coin, which is that everything about it will influence artists in every medium from now on - as it has Moore, who happened to use the title as inspiration. Bradbury disappointed me by not wanting to accept that idea. I heard that Here and Now interview too.

So I see that the proper name for the "apocalyptic futures that could happen if you all don't pay attention" is dystopian novels. Huh--you learn something new every day. Hey, are you the same Jen Rae who used to work the monorail shift with me at <a href="http://www.dutchwonderland.com/" rel="nofollow">Dutch Wonderland</a>? I'm sure you're not, but I had to ask!

One of the more interesting required readings for undergrad. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0380633132/002-6120107-2781624?v=glance Speaking of dystopian novels, you should check out “We”, which Orwell said was his inspiration for 1984.
