I’ve been reading some short stories from Twice 22 by Ray Bradbury. The Murderer caught my attention as yet another example of how prophetic humans can sometimes be. Written 72 years ago, the concepts of future technology aren’t really that original. Dick Tracy was sporting video watches in the 30s after all. All the same, this story will ‘ring’ a little too close to home for many of us and captures some of the more complex problems with our current communications technology.

It’s a short story, so just a short review. Not profound, just a little thought provoking topic, so very relevant to our current times.
