I have one of those great “Images Of America” books by Arcadia Press on Waukegan, Illinois. I was able to match up a number of locations in Green Town to real-life Waukegan.
For instance, the ravine through the middle of town, with its scary-at-night walkway, was very real.

Isn't it interesting that of all the dystopian futures conjured up in books that the ones based on a liberal’s wet dream seem to be coming true? (Fallen Angels, 1984, Brave New World, and Atlas Shrugged)

read his short stories....
a good compilation is ‘golden apples of the sun’ and find “The Sound of thunder” a great scifi story from 1952

Interesting is a word for it, I suppose. I recall reading Harlan Ellison’s dystopian anthologies ‘Dangerous Visions’ and ‘Again, Dangerous Visions’ thirty years ago and saying “nah, there’s no way any of this stuff can ever happen”. I am sorry to be wrong on more counts than I can think of. Just to name one, Niven’s ‘The Jigsaw Man’ is going down as we speak in China.

The books are way better than the movies.

I grew up reading Heinlein, Asimov, and Bradbury. Me too.
Rest in peace, Mr. Bradbury.
