I'm currently going through Ray Bradbury Theater on Peacock (yea they got a lot of modern woke garbage but they do have a good library of older shows, and I get access to WWE Network) and I came across the Mars is Heaven adaptation. That is such a good short story and it was actually the very first Ray Bradbury story I ever read. It was in one of the first golden age Sci-Fi anthologies. Sci-Fi from that era is amazing. Now I want to get the Weird Science reprint with it. Anytime I see Tales from the Crypt, Vault of Horror, Weird Science, etc reprints I buy them up fast.

Have you read the Rama series by Clarke? I only ever read the first book but loved it, got the other three on their way to me now so I can finish the series. There’s a sci fi YouTuber called “Quinn’s Ideas” who has quite a few videos recommending various sci fi novels.
Just fair warning, the subsequent books are pretty different and clearly Gentry Lee was doing the heavy lifting on the actual writing. Unlike the first book, they have actual characters, but the style is pretty different for this reason and the pace is a lot slower
Same as you. I read Rama a while back but I’d have to read it again. I do like Clarke though. I’ve also read the 2001 books. I subscribe to Quinn’s Ideas. He is good overall but he seemed to like the Foundation tv show.
