Program Description

Event Details

Sam Weller, the authorized biographer of the late Ray Bradbury, worked intimately with the legendary author for 12-years. In this program, he will share never-before seen stories, insights, fascinating details and images related to the 1953 Bradbury masterwork, FAHRENHEIT 451. Along the way, Weller will tell the captivating story of his own tender relationship with Bradbury, and examine why FAHRENHEIT 451 continues to endure with its prescient predictions of an anti-intellectual, media addicted world.
