Famed sci-fi writer Ray Bradbury receives special Pulitzer citation

By
The 91st annual Pulitzer Prizes were announced on Monday, April 16, 2007. A special citation will be presented to Ray Douglas Bradbury at the awards luncheon on May 21st at Columbia University, N.Y.C.

Bradbury will receive a special citation from the Pulitzer Board for “his distinguished, prolific and deeply influential career as an unmatched author of science fiction and fantasy.”

Although not a Pulitzer Prize, itself, the citation is a life achievement award

Bradbury, born on August 22, 1920 in Waukegan, Illinois, is well known for a diverse amount of work in American literature, horror, fantasy, science fiction, and mystery. He is probably best known for the three books: The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, and Fahrenheit 451.

He was inducted into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame in 1989. He was recognized as a Grand Master by Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA).

Bradbury also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a asteroid named in his honor (9766 Bradbury), and a lunar crater named for his novel Dandelion Wine (Dandelion Crater).

He has been honored with the National Medal of Arts. Besides writing fiction books, Bradbury has also written non-fiction books, anthologies, fables, children’s books, poetry, short stories, plays, screenplays, and teleplays.

Bradbury’s website is: https://www.raybradbury.com/.

Two audio interviews of Bradbury appear at: https://wiredforbooks.org/raybradbury/.

ENABLE HYBRID CLOUD & REDUCE NETWORK LATENCY WHITEPAPER

Hybrid cloud promises to bring together the best of both worlds enabling businesses to combine the scalability and cost-effectiveness of the cloud with the performance and control that you can get from your on-premise infrastructure.

Reducing WAN latency is one of the biggest issues with hybrid cloud performance. Taking advantage of compression and data deduplication can reduce your network latency.

Research firm, Markets and Markets, predicted that the hybrid cloud market size is expected to grow from US$38.27 billion in 2017 to US$97.64 billion by 2023.

Colocation facilities provide many of the benefits of having your servers in the cloud while still maintaining physical control of your systems.

Cloud adjacency provided by colocation facilities can enable you to leverage their low latency high bandwidth connections to the cloud as well as providing a solid connection back to your on-premises corporate network.

Download this white paper to find out what you need to know about enabling the hybrid cloud in your organisation.
