Where does the inspiration come from? How does the story begin? Did the moments that appeared in the memory foreshadow the material? Are there any paths and experiences to follow when creating ideas? This is a problem that every creator must face, even though they seem so mysterious and unspeakable - "Experience, creation, they are like two sides of a copper plate. When the copper plate rotates, it is neither the front nor the back, but a moment of revelation." - And now, this book will take us close to these "moments of revelation." The creative thinking of Ray Bradbury, one of the greatest writers of the 20th century and author of "Fahrenheit 451," is revealed for the first time. It leads you back in time to explore how science fiction masters turned love or anger into writing motivation; how to enrich the body's various perceptions to feed the muse; how to capture a certain auspicious moment in life and solidify it forever... The book has a total of twelve chapters, with humorous writing, as light and clever as poetry. It is like having a long conversation with the master through time and space, helping you who are interested in writing to clarify the creative myths and move forward.

"In this absurd era, we need science fiction." When night falls and the curtain of the universe opens, welcome to the little theater in the mind of science fiction master Bradbury, the inspiration for "Fahrenheit 451" and "The Martian Chronicles". The fire of "Fahrenheit 451" began to burn from here, and the spaceship of "Mars Chronicles" set sail from here. 18 "Black Mirror"-style grotesque poetic reversal dramas emerged one by one on the human body canvas, full of colorful and shocking images and sounds and lights for you to enjoy. This book was adapted into a cult movie in 1969, and the series of the same name will be put on the screen in 2022 by Michael Straczynski, the director of "Survivor". "The Pattern Man" is a collection of classic short stories by Ray Bradbury, the author of "Fahrenheit 451" and the master of science fiction. Using a mysterious man whose body is covered with tattoos that can predict the future as a clue, 18 "Black Mirror"-style fantasy science fiction stories are drawn out, each of which has a poetic and strange imagination and an unexpected ending. The key word in the story is "if": if a man can customize a mechanical puppet for himself, and leave it at home for cover when he goes out to fool around at night, and unexpectedly it really falls in love with the owner's wife; if a sleeping city wakes up overnight, activates all technological senses, and has a profound impact on human beings. Carry out a crazy act of revenge; if you are a devout priest, you discover during your sermon that the real God is not what you imagined; if a group of invaders from Mars land on the earth tremblingly, only to find that human beings are just a group of stupid guys addicted to eating, drinking and having fun...

The eccentric Mr. You likes to walk at night, but is arrested for it; the old lady who wants to see the true face of God flies into space risking her own life; the fat freak show actor tattoos the unknown he is about to experience on his body in order to keep his job; the couple who hide in the mountains and forests discover a secret door in the old house...

This book is the 10th anniversary collector's edition of "The Martian Chronicles", the famous work of contemporary science fiction master Ray Bradbury. This science fiction classic, highly praised by Borges, Liu Cixin and others, consists of a series of fantasy short stories with beautiful writing style, fantastic imagination and Gothic color. At the turn of the century, the earth is perilous and full of apocalyptic atmosphere. Mars has become mankind's last hope. Although the first three batches of explorers all died at the hands of mysterious Martians, humans are still advancing one after another. On the strange red land, they met the "cheating" Martian woman and her jealous husband, the Martians who were proficient in telepathy and disguise, the Castle of Usher with hidden murderous intentions during the grand carnival, and the supernatural encounter between two strangers in the twisted time and space... The Martian Chronicles, which is both poetic and weird, is actually a history of human civilization that flourishes and declines, reflecting the deep fears and desires of human nature, making it sad to read. In 2012, NASA named the Curiosity rover's landing site on Mars "Bradbury Landing" to pay tribute to the science fiction master.

A shy undertaker confides his secrets to the corpse; a flourishing writer suddenly announces his closure; a suspicious resentful woman thinks her lover has a body; innocent children play strange games; a priest who listens to a stranger's confession on Christmas Eve ends up needing his forgiveness...
