I liked, “Fishing for Seagulls” though donning scuba gear to get them to dive in to the sea is dopey.
You can hold up a French fry in one hand and punch them out of the sky with the other.

Some of the images show ideas that are not far off from reality today, even if the technical concepts are not how we have pulled off those ideas.

Interesting that they have the right concepts, but the execution is funny. Clearly based on their worldview, but still, funny.

I have often noticed that of all people, science fiction writers have seemed to have the most almost prophetic vision of what the future holds. I think especially or Ray Bradbury in Fahrenheit 451 and some of his short stories, which names I cannot remember.
