so this guy goes for a walk

Ray Bradbury wrote the "Pedestrian" using his own life experience. One night he was walking in the street, and a police car stopped him He got mad at this and goes home to write "The Pedestrian". He uses the plot, tone, and characters to carefully put a story together that we could clearly understand and visualize. When he wrote this story in the 1990 he wrote is as if the setting had taken place in 2050. What is truly amazing is the way  he foreshadowed everything to what is now our present, he mentions televisions, lonely streets, and police cars. When he wrote the story in the 90's, it might have made someone think that Bradbury was crazy, because it is just unbelievable that he imagined such things when the advanced technology didn't exist.
