<h4>In Memoriam: Leonardo Honorary Editor Ray Bradbury</h4>
<p class="mainText">Leonardo Honorary Editor <strong>Ray Bradbury</strong> passed away 5 June 2012. Bradbury was a long-time Leonardo editorial board member. He had been a friend and colleague of Leonardo Journal founding editor Frank Malina. Their connection was an interest in space travel, which began to develop in the 1920s and 1930s as its reality was also being explored by science fiction writers. Writers such as Jules Verne, Leonardo Advisor Arthur C. Clarke, and Ray Bradbury were exemplars of the shared intellectual roots in a cultural imaginary that developed symbiotically between the arts, sciences and engineering. In some cases writers such as Bradbury anticipated future developments, in other cases warned of possible dystopias. <a href="http://www.raybradbury.com/">Find out more</a></p>
