I wish I had such a fertile mind as Bradbury, Heinlein, Asimov, and the rest. I have been waiting forever for a competent filmmaker to take on Niven’s Ringworld.
I don't remember the name, but one of my favorites of his takes place in an Asian country completely surrounded by a Great Wall.
A young man creates a pair of wings that allow him to fly anywhere, including over the wall, that he demonstrates to the King.
The King has him killed before he can demonstrate it to anyone else, because the technology represents an existential threat to their civilization.
‘There Will Come Soft Rains’
Yes! From, ‘The Martian Chronicles.”
I’ll check out ‘Ringworld.’
