Bradbury was more of a Futurist imho. He truly saw what things would
be like and put them into realworld context and perspective.

Did Bradbury ever refer to himself as a "science
fiction writer"?
Although he wrote stories set in futuristic (or alternate reality)
places, I was under the impression that such stuff was mostly the
backdrop for his storytelling.
One of his short stories that's a favorite of mine isn't SF (and
perhaps not fiction at all) --"The First Night of Lent".
