Publisher's Summary

In Referent, Ray Bradbury crafts a thought-provoking and imaginative short story that delves into the complexities of human memory, identity, and the connections we form with the world around us. Set in a future where technology and human consciousness intertwine in new and unsettling ways, the story explores the idea of "referents"—objects or experiences that serve as anchors for personal memory and identity.

Through Bradbury's poetic and vivid prose, Referent touches on themes of nostalgia, loss, and the human need to hold onto the past. As the characters navigate a landscape where memories can be manipulated, Bradbury poses intriguing questions about what makes us who we are and how technology might reshape that understanding.

True to Bradbury's style, Referent is a blend of speculative fiction, emotional depth, and philosophical inquiry, making it a compelling read for fans of his work and those who appreciate richly layered, contemplative stories.

PLEASE NOTE: when you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.
