Totally in character for Bradbury, who is in some ways the most “conservative” writer you can name.

Think of his story “The Pedestrian,” where driving everywhere is mandatory for everyone, and walking has become a criminal act. It’s the essence of Bradbury (who has never driven a car in his life BTW).

I don’t think he has ever flown in an aircraft, either. I recall from some time ago, that he takes the train for any long journies.

Great.. a Luddite who writes (sort of ) sci-fi.
