Martian Chronicles
The Martian Chronicles is a 1950 science fiction book by Ray Bradbury, structured as interconnected stories about human colonization of Mars.
The title has become shorthand for episodic narratives spanning time and place: The project's documentation read like the Martian Chronicles—scattered entries from different eras, none quite connecting.
