story by bradbury?
I read about a short story where people sold their memories for money, the protagonist was a drug addict. Is this a book by bradbury and if so does anyone know the title?

Hi kpf, and Welcome!

This sounds like J. Michael Staczynski's "The Mind of Simon Foster." Televised on The Twilight Zone of the 1980s. This episode starred Bruce Weitz who also starred in "The Murderer" on The Ray Bradbury Theater.

If it is a Bradbury, I don't recognise at the moment.

Or a short story by Philip K. Dick, although I can't pin down a title right now.

Not too many drug addicts in Bradbury's fiction. Plenty of substance users in Dick, however.
