A perfect blend of humor and tragedy—depressing, but in an enlightening way, if that makes any sense. The Martian Chronicles presents a very dim view of human society and how we are hellbent on destroying ourselves, which I think has retained its relevancy up to 2019, hence the enlightenment. My favorite story from the collection was “The Earth Men”. As one can expect with Bradbury, the writing and storytelling is phenomenal.
