There is nothing new under the sun. It's all about context. The problem is that history keeps repeating itself just in different variants. As for Ray Bradbury, I met him only one time. He showed up in a stretch limo at our old library in Waukegan. I praised him for his work on 451 and he said, "That old crap. You obviously haven't read what I wrote tomorrow."
