with editor David Wilson was a measure taken to ensure that the believability of his story could be bolstered by the aid of a white man’s insurance.

Wilson also offers his own endorsement of Northup and states his belief that the former slave “has adhered strictly to the truth.” As a precursor to what will…

She uses words such as brutal, reckless, and robbing. These powerfully charged words can be heard in everyday language but her use of them has a great impact. For example, at the end of her speech you can hear a bit of this strong dictation Troxel uses in part of her call to action: “So tomorrow morning, when coincidentally we get to set our clocks back by an hour and you get that delicious extra hour of sleep, and the day seems a little longer, and a little more full of hope, think…

With no books around, people don’t ask questions. They tend to be content with not knowing because they don’t know better. Bradbury tells us that an uninquiring mind is unfruitful in progressing humanity in a better direction by the sentence dictation.

Warning us that this mentality is unhelpful to humanity is this quote’s…

A prime example…

Tom Godwin’s “Cold Equations” and Ray Bradbury’s “The Pedestrian” both share similarities in their respective views on the effect of technology on human freedom and individuality in the future. In “Cold Equations”, if a human stows away on an EDS ship, the computer systems of that ship’s calculations for the exact amount of fuel needed to get from point A to point B would be incorrect: “Additional fuel would be used during the hours of deceleration to compensate for the added mass of the…
