Response To Science Fiction Ariticle

This article, How Ray Bradbury's "The Martian Chronicles" Changed Science Fiction (And Literature), shows that science fiction in its entirety is a whole different genre than people back in the 1950's have experienced with. He breaks usual 'traditions' when it came to writing "The Martian Chronicles. Instead of going with the more typical setting of new and advanced technology or having everything look like a utopia, Bradbury starts with more of an "at home" setting. He doesn't go along with what most people think of when they hear the words science fiction. He strays away from that and uses his own imagination to create his story. Ray Bradbury also makes allusions to American history. The article clearly states, "Just as Europeans landed in North and Central America wholly unprepared for what they found there, Bradbury's Earthmen are unprepared time and again for the wonder and the horror of Mars." As you can now see, Ray Bradbury changed science fiction and flipped the script on what a good science fiction looks like.
